    My 2006 Taco has gone crazy. The keyless entry system locks and unlocks at will. This can go on for hours and the hazard lights flash when the locks stop engaging. Finally had to disconnect the battery. Truck has 90K on it and I am the original owner It has been flawless to the point. Anyone ever experience this?

    I had similar problems with my last tacoma. I traced it back to a replacement windshield...I guess it wasn't sealed well and after it rained water would drip onto the fuse box and cause all kinds of wacky things. I mentioned it to a couple of dudes I know and one had a similar problem because the weep holes at the bottom of the windshield under the hood outside the firewall were clogged up with leaves and such. Don't know if this is your problem but something to check out. Also one my wife old Saab (don't get me started on this one) when the battery was running low on the alarm it would go off randomly.

    Traded in a 2000 9-5 for my Tacoma. Dont get me started on the random alarm thing... happened to me all the time. I tried everything I could, including breaking open the alarm box and soldering in a new battery. I eventually had my mechanic totally disable the damn thing. That was one of only a handful of problems though, I was lucky and got a pretty good one. Kinda miss her, she was my first car! As for the OPs issue, the only thing I can think of (other than water in the electronics) is a faulty/low battery in your key fob. On some cars it is known to cause some wacky behavior. Good luck!
