It arms/disarms the security BUT NOT REMOTE ENGINE START. When disarmed it unlocks the drivers door ,and I can then start the car.

Anyway, the remote is going bad even though I replaced the battery 2 days ago.

I looked on several ‘PYTHON” web sites and they want more for a remote replacement than it costs for an entirely new complete system $269 USD for the remote only. That’s crazy.

What if any, options do I have ?

Any suggestion gratefully received.

Thank you

I could spend a fortune to a auto electrician or I could do an ignition by-pass.

I have looked this up on google and I can many, many different answers.

The one which seems the simplest is to run a wire (4 gauge) from the positive stud of the starter solenoid to the positive stud of the battery with a MOMENTARY push button switch in between.

However, I’m not experienced with this kind of thing and I’m worried about further damaging the SUV.

Any advice gratefully appreciated . Particularly as to what MOMENTARY push button switch to buy. The starting system seems to draw 175 amps , so I’ll need a switch that can handle this large amperage

Any advice gratefully appreciated.

Thank you

Update (06/27/2020)

Hello all, I discovered the problem, quite by accident. The 4 runner which I just bought had the alarm system set up to shut off the ignition system. I had been accidentally, pushing the wrong button on the alarm fob. PROBLEM SOLVED ! Big relief.

Prior to this my master cylinder went out. So I have replaced the master cylinder, brake booster, rear wheel cylinders. I have bleed everything properly, I have no air in my lines nor leaks, i do have vacuum on the booster. I have also bleed them several times for countless hours. I also took off the master cylinder and rebleed it thinking there was trapped air, and still nothing. Any ideas out there?
