    So I bought an 06 Taco double cab prerunner last week. It didn't come with a key fob so I ordered one which came in today. I followed the programming instructions and when it got to step 5 the door locks didn't cycle as the instructions and video said they should and in turn I was unable to program the fob. Does anyone have any information that may help? Do all Tacomas come with key fobs? Any possibility of an electrical issue? The power door locks and windows do work. Any ideas on where to start would be greatly appreciated.


    1. Start with the key out of the ignition, drivers door is open all others closed and
    drivers door is unlocked.


    2. Perform these steps within 5 seconds.
    A. Insert the key into the ignition(Do NOT Turn) Pull key out.
    B. Insert the key into the ignition(Do NOT Turn) Pull key out.


    3. Perform these steps within 40 seconds.
    A. Close then open the drivers door.
    B. Close then open the drivers door.
    C. Insert the key into the ignition(Do NOT Turn) Pull key out.


    4. Perform these steps within 40 seconds.
    A. Close then open the drivers door.
    B. Close then open the drivers door.
    C. Insert the key into ignition and leave it in ignition.
    D. Close the drivers door.
    E. Turn the ignition to ON (Do NOT Start) then back to OFF.
    F. Remove the key from the ignition.


    5. Within 3 seconds, the power door locks should lock then unlock automatically
    indicating successful entry into programming mode.
    Return to step 1 if the locks do not cycle at this point.


    6. Perform these steps within 40 seconds.
    A. Press the lock and unlock buttons on the remtoe simutaneously for 1.5 seconds.
    B. Immediately after letting go of the lock and unlock buttons,
    Press the lock button by itself and hold for 2 seconds. Within 3 seconds, the door
    locks should lock and then unlock once indicating successful programming. If
    the door locks cycle twice, repeat steps A and B in step 6 as the remote was
    not accepted.
    C. Repeat steps A and B in step 6 for each new remote.


    7. Open drivers door.

    From the previous post on this subject I have attempted to find the white transmitter box under the dash and what I found behind the driver side kick panel was white but I seriously doubt it was a transmitter box. The pictures from the old post had gone away so I didn't have a clue of what to look for. Also, I have checked all fuses and none are blown.
