Hello all,
I've been searching, but haven't found a wiring diagram or setup instructions for the TVSS alarm system in my 93 FZJ80. Box is under the seat and I have the 'horn defeat/valet' rocker switch on the dash.
The remote fob got lost and I'm considering getting a new one. However... I've hated this alarm since day one as it automatically arms itself every time you remove the ignition. This means if you don't actually lock the vehicle, or use the remote to lock the doors/arm the alarm, the alarm still arms itself. The next time you open a door, the alarm triggers honking the horn & flashing the lights.
The manual I have been able to find says this is an option that can be turned off, but doesn't say how. anyone know???
I looked into this a few years back and gave up. This is important to me because I don't actually want an alarm... just keyless entry. My dog jumps around barking and sets the @*! thing off all the time anyway.... and I can't NOT set the alarm... ughh...
If I can't get this thing OUT of auto-arming mode I'd rather rip it out, save the $60-$110 dollars on a single remote, and put in aftermarket keyless entry... however, I think I need a 'jumper' plug to replace the box under the seat as the truck won't start if I just unplug it.
Maybe C-dan could find that for me?
Remote wise, truck didn't come with it and I paid my dealer for one. It's the black oval one:
Thanks all! I really really want to fix this
