Immobiliser/alarm

Post by Daniel2019 »

Opened up my car and tried to start it this avo and as soon as I turned it to crank it, everything shut down.. Opened it and closed it with the button a few times but it did it again this arvo so I tried to lock and unlock again to reset immobiliser and it now won't open again...

If I open it with the key the alarm will go off.. What can I do?

Gonna drop the price and piss this stupid car off ASAP.

What do?

It's probably your battery in your remote dude not powerful enough to send the signal to the control unit?
Replace the battery and try it? worked for mine....

Trying that now but the remote had no trouble turning the immobiliser off. Everything on the dash worked fine until I tried to crank it, then it crashed.

Could also be a blown fuse or immobiliser has failed.

New batteries in remote didn't work. Even if I can open up my car I can't disable the immobiliser easily can I?

Step 1. Put on some ear protection
Step 2. Open the door
Step 3. Pop the bonnet
Step 4. Insert key into siren and switch it off
Step 5. Disconnect battery

If it is a battery backup siren and the switch is broken, do the following

Step 6. Fill a bucket with water
Step 7. Cut the siren wires
Step 8. Unscrew the siren from the car
Step 9. Chuck siren into water

Then you can work on the car without the siren blaring.

Bit the bullet and opened it with the key, no alarm.. opened the bonnet and turns out I had a slightly loose battery connection.. only very very slight but enough for the alarm to detect a change in voltage when turning the key which then eventually stopped the alarm from working I guess.

Sorted. Cheers for the help guys.
