Apologies for the terrible pun.
I live in Cameroon and have just bought a surprisingly tidy 2007 FJ Cruiser. Despite myself (previously a devout landcruiser owner) I love it. Its one of the first times that I buy a car and don't find millions of things that are not right.
I have found, however, one thing. The alarm keeps going off. Clearly been a problem for a while as it has been disconnected from the horn and siren. However, it still flashes its lights and indicators. It has a magic button I can press which disables the interior sensor. That solves the problem. But I would rather not press the button every time I get out the car. Is there any way to permanently disable the alarm (open to all options here from hammer to coding)? Alternatively, if I could find the sensor, maybe its loose or dirty or unhappy. Anyone know where it is? Maybe I could pull a fuse?
Finally, I have a Carly OBD2 adapter. Is there an app that will allow me some coding as the carly app doesnt seem to? Again any knowledge greatly appreciated.
As I say, I am in Cameroon, so going to the dealer is not really an option. Even going to a good electrical mechanic isn't really an option. I have to fix this thing myself, so any advice greatly appreciated.
