Great news, your 1998 Toyota Camry Key Fob is self programmable. Below are the programming instructions. Be patient, it might take you a few times to get this right. It is all about timing.

Most remotes can be self-programmed. If this procedure does not work, you must have your remote programmed by a professional automotive locksmith or dealership.


Obtain all remote transmitters for this vehicle.
1. Insert key into ignition and turn ignition switch to ON position.

2. Locate the ECU (Engine Control Unit) and press and hold the ECU PROGRAMMING button for 3 seconds. The ECU will be located under one of the front two seats, the trunk, or under the dashboard on the drivers side. You will need a small pointy object like a pen to depress the ECU button. After pressing the ECU button for three seconds, you will see the STATUS MONITOR LED turn on for 5 seconds. Vehicle is now in programming mode.

3. Press and release the top button on the remote. The STATUS MONITOR LED will turn off. A chirp will be heard as well as one flash of the exterior lights.

4. Turn off the ignition. Programming is now complete, test remotes for proper programming.

dude, in the deck under the glass? try going at it from the inside the trunk

I had the same problem today - called Toyota dealer and they said to turn on the ignition, press the red button (alarm indicator), then turn off ignition, turn ignition back on, and it should be set to off. I am going to try this evening to see if it actually works. Also, he said if you don't have the button on the dash to look near the kick plate for a toggle switch and follow the instructions the same.

it may be under the bonnet ,it is usually the accessories fuse,you may also have some fuses under the dash as well......hope this helps.....cheers

raise the front end off the ground on Jack stands. then try to find play on the wheel. it must be off the ground. I guess it your wheel bearings

check your fuses

will work like a dream
