I have a 1999 Montero limited white and I have noticed that when American car owners use their remote my alarm goes off. That is right, it goes off, but the doors will not unlock or lock the alarm just goes off.

I am thinking that the alarm goes off because it thinks its under attack but how do I stop it.

Another symptom is I dropped a dime in the lighter in the center console by the hold button. Which before I could get it out w/ gum and a straw it shorted out the outlet and power mirrors.

Also once when I came out to lock the car from the passenger door I hit the button on the door to lock the car and the alarm chirped. I hit the lock button three more time just to see what would happen and the alarm went off. It gets better, when I unlocked the door using the button on the door the alarm turned off.

Go figure. Anyway I need to find the fuse for the alarm so I can pull it to reset the alarm and I need to find the fuse for the power mirror to replace that. But I will take any more suggestions also.

Need help in finding fuses for those items. Looked under dash and don't see it listed (mirror).

Help Please
Cheers,
Tilly
