#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
#2: Re: Alarm Prob - help needed Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sun Dec 12, 2010 5:29 am ---- The BIP noise is telling you that a door / boot / bonnet isnt shut correctly.
The alarm wont arm in that state.

#5: Re: Alarm Prob - help needed Author: cookiemonster, Location: In front of youPosted: Sun Dec 12, 2010 5:56 am ---- If i was to hold down the small button did it not set the alarm off ?

#8: Re: Alarm Prob - help needed Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sun Dec 12, 2010 6:03 am ---- Just open & close all the doors, boot, bonnet & try the alarm again.

#10: Re: Alarm Prob - help needed Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Sun Dec 12, 2010 6:52 am ---- Has yours got the ultrasonic sensors in the A pillars?
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
#11: Re: Alarm Prob - help needed Author: cookiemonster, Location: In front of youPosted: Sun Dec 12, 2010 7:41 am ---- yes tried that tom and even sat in the car alarmed it and jumped about in it like a fool and nothing
#12: Re: Alarm Prob - help needed Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Sun Dec 12, 2010 7:47 am ---- Did you check if the doors/boot are shut properly?
#13: Re: Alarm Prob - help needed Author: cookiemonster, Location: In front of youPosted: Sun Dec 12, 2010 7:54 am ---- yes ive opened everything n shut everything properly
#14: Re: Alarm Prob - help needed Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sun Dec 12, 2010 8:21 am ---- You tried spraying the bonnet sensor with some WD40?
Its the small black switch attached to the catch.
Check it also hasnt fallen off
#15: Re: Alarm Prob - help needed Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sun Dec 12, 2010 8:49 am ---- Are all the doors actually locking when you lock the car?
I've got a dicky drivers lock which doesn't always lock and that causes my alarm to not activate.

best pic i found in a quick search...
the top part is the plunger switched previously referred to.
when the bonnet latches shut it should push down on this.
thus, if it has fallen off or doesn't fully engage it won't activate the alarm.
#19: Re: Alarm Prob - help needed Author: wpday07, Location: WiltshirePosted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 3:18 pm ---- Hi, Did you fix the problem? I also have an alarm that wont function,
the Boot/Bonnet sensors are situated in the correct place
the wiring seems to be ok to the Textron control box (Pillars are connected)
Ive tried arming it with the windows down and running my hand across the sensors, nothing happens, not even the lights flash..
the only weird thing is when i lock and unlock the car i get a strange noise as if someone *excuse this* farted.
How can i get the blinkin thing to work...
anyones help much appreciated.
#20: Re: Alarm Prob - help needed Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 3:26 pm ---- Lock the car with the fob, then manually unlock it with the key
#21: Re: Alarm Prob - help needed Author: wpday07, Location: WiltshirePosted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 3:57 pm ---- hi, cheers for the quick reply, tried that, no luck :/ it just unlocks normally
#22: Re: Alarm Prob - help needed Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 3:59 pm ---- Your alarm isn't even activating then. Possibly a problem with the control unit
#23: Re: Alarm Prob - help needed Author: wpday07, Location: WiltshirePosted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 4:04 pm ---- ive taken the thing out, disconnected it, reconnected it, still nothing, the fuse is ok also, yeah you could be right, thank you.

Your alarm is trying to tell you one of the doors / boot / bonnet isnt shut correctly & that means the system wont arm.
#25: Re: Alarm Prob - help needed Author: wpday07, Location: WiltshirePosted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 4:10 am ---- so the sensors are broken?

You need to check which sensor is stopping the alarm system arming.
#27: Re: Alarm Prob - help needed Author: wpday07, Location: WiltshirePosted: Thu Jun 23, 2011 7:21 am ---- thank you

Now I know which door to try. Thanks Lee
#29: Re: Alarm Prob - help needed Author: wpday07, Location: WiltshirePosted: Fri Jun 24, 2011 6:25 am ---- it seems that all of the sensors are ok, its a 2003 model so it shows up if the door is open etc. It must be the control box.. :/
