#1: Alarm Prob - help needed Author: cookiemonster, Location: In front of youPosted: Sun Dec 12, 2010 4:32 am ---- Had my car off the road with battery disconnected for 5 weeks, just got the car back yesterday battery reconnected car started straight away but my alarm does not seem to be functioning as it should.
when I lock the door with the key and then press the small top button on fob to alarm the car it makes a BIP noise for about half a second the car is not alarming as the light on the dash is not lit -
can the alarm be re-set in any way please ?
any advise welcome

The alarm wont arm in that state.

If so, put the window down, lock and alarm, than pass your hand infront of the sensor. If it goes off, its fine. If not, then its not fine

I've got a dicky drivers lock which doesn't always lock and that causes my alarm to not activate.
