Red light on FOB, keyless won't work!

I tried searching in the forums but couldn't find an answer to this. I just purchased a used 2005 Package 5 Prius and the keyless entry won't work. I have unclicked the button below the steering wheel that disables the keyless entry. Even so, whenever I press the unlock button on the remote, I get a quick red led that lights up in the corner for half a second but nothing happens. I know the battery isn't dead as I popped into a dealership real quick and they tested it to confirm this. Do I have to reprogram the fob or something, and if so, how would I do that? Thanks!

 

My car only came with one, and no, it won't turn on when in my pocket.

Also, when I try to start it by holding the break and pressing the power button (with the fob not in the ignition), the car beeps at me with the red car and key signal showing as well as the yellow key and exclamation point on. When I do drive the car with the fob in the ignition, I get the red flashing car and key symbol all the time.

 

the lock and unlock doesn't work, all that happens when I press the lock or unlock button is the small red led shows up for about half a second but nothing happens. Same for the alarm button.

 

I have the silver emblem. The dealer gave me the fob along with a spare regular cut key (it isn't a toyota key, looks like a copy or something).

I even tried the whole program fob thing (i know its for adding a new one) but tried anyways. Still didn't program.

Not really sure whats going on, but thanks for the help so far. Also, I have the sks button not pushed in. This is correct right?

 

Yeah I figured it was supposed to be depressed. Another funny thing about my fob is that i cannot slide the release button on the top to release the key. It seems to be jammed or stuck shut.

 

It was another car dealer, Framingham Auto Mall in Framingham, MA. I have nothing but bad things to say about them, including their unprofessionalism as well as their terrible customer service. The only plus is they have great prices on their vehicles.

They didn't even give me an owners manual, of all the cars, this is the one you'd want it for. They are ordering me one because I complained that it didn't come with it. Also, they gave me the car with a 1/4 tank of gas, I had to complain in order to get a $10 gas voucher which filled me up. In addition, after I purchased it, they made me wait 4 days for them to detail it (which I don't even know if they did), as well as give it an oil change and get it registered.

 

Do almost all dealers, whether it be private, other dealer, or a toyota dealer, always give you two fob's? I don't want to buy another one if I don't have to. I also find it annoying that the button release on the fob to release the key is (appears to be) superglued or something and cannot be switched to release the key.

 

Well thats crap, because I paid for the car to have keyless entry. I will go to a local toyota dealer tomorrow and have them program me two fob's. I will then send the bill to Framingham Auto Mall. They told me to do this since they can't fix the fob's there. Not surprising though since I didn't even receive my owners manual, should be coming soon though since I had to force them to order me one. Hopefully it is the right manual for my package 5. Other than all this, I can't seem to find any other things. Car works great, average 44.5 mpg on my first tank so far.

The car also has a slight pull to the right (tires are inflated properly at 35psi in front and 33psi in back and have to have the steering whell maybe 2degrees to the left), but this doens't seem to be that much of an issue at all... Perhaps new tires or an alignment could fix this.

 

The key came with a plastic tag with paper underneath. Its about the size of a 1/4 of a dollar bill. It says year, make, model, body, color, and on the bottom it has a reorder and a number/letter combination below it along with a phone number. it also says SID SAVAGE A.D.S.I. which I'm not really sure what that means. Not sure if that number/letter comibination (which is 5) is the correct number you are looking for.

 

Strange, I'm just gonna go into the toyota dealership tomorrow and have them fix it, was originally going to request for 2 fob's, but I don't want my original dealer to charge me for another. If I buy a fob online, will i be able to program it for keyless entry, or will it only program for ignition? Thanks.
