Strange problems when locking...

Hi, first time poster, but I already want to say thanks, I bought my 04 limited about a year and a half ago and the dealer failed to give me an owner's manual but I have found everything I have needed here on these forums.

So, the problem I am having is that I recently had to have some body work done after an accident and when I got the truck back from the shop there is something strange with the locks.

1. When I hit the lock button it will beep once like normal, but then a half second later it will beep again and the lights on the running boards illuminate.

2. Also, when locking at night I have always been able to double click the lock button and the headlights will go out. This seems to have stopped working.

3. When I shift the car into gear it seems like the doors are locking twice

4. I returned the car to have the insurance company fix it and they misunderstood me and just turned off the beeps but it still has the same problems.

Any ideas?

Sounds like a possible programming issue. Maybe if the battery was disconnected for long enough it reset or somehow changed the settings that are FOB controlled. There might be instructions somewhere on here (search) for programming the FOB, otherwise try a Toyota dealer.
 
Did they replace any wiring or electronics at the body shop? If they can't fix it, tell the insurance company you want to have Toyota diagnosis and repair it.
