How do I remove alarm system on 97 Tacoma??

Basically you need to jump the starter wire back together. Or jump the wires at the connector on the alarm.

pin 8 and pin 3 on the #3 connector from what I’m seeing.

 

I lost the key fob in the ocean.

 

I believe you need the transponder chip that's part of original key don't ya? That's the immobilizing part. If alarm receiver doesn't detect the chip I don't think it allows it to start

 

There is not RFID. The system simply uses an internal relay to break the connection to the Starter wire. The key fob controls the operation of the alarm.

The only way I seen to put that unit into valet mode was with the use of the food. Therefore the only way to start the vehicle is to remove the system and put the wiring back to factory or jump the starter connection that the unit is breaking open

 

The lock cylinder is locked in the off position? Have you tried turning the wheel to get it the key to turn?

Owners manual says to do this if you don’t have the key fob

Here’s the wiring diagram - the relay and control module should be easy to find if you remove the lower dash panels on the drivers and passengers side

 

OP, did you find your keys yet or solve the alarm issue so you can drive back to where you want to be

 

Thanks for all the help/suggestions.

I used the help from this video https://youtu.be/G0MCNOppasI
To completely remove my security system. It was actually relatively easy once I understood how it was installed.

 

Understanding what your looking at or for is 95 % of the job

 

As Dalandser pointed out, you should have been able to just turn the key to ON-ACC-ON to turn off the alarm. No need to rip the alarm system out unless you didn't want to buy another fob. You have to figure the alarm system designers accounted for the possibility of the fob's battery going dead, so designed a way to turn the alarm off with just the key and not leave you stranded.

 

sounds like it was a stressful situation
I am still trying to recall if I had to drive my 95 pickup home from the shop in 95 or 96 with the alarm blaring through the neighborhoods

 

Just unplug main harness on the alarm. It will still start. I had problems on my 97 tacoma would drain battery. It would even drain yellow top optima. You can pull it out latter. Trace wires back, you only have to pay close attention to the wires on the relay. One wire will be cut to the ignition, remove alarm wires and res-lice the ignition wire. Not that hard. Take your time you can do it.
