Hello,
When i got into my car today, after unlocking it via my fob i turned the ignition and the car failed to start, beeping at me. Thinking the obvious, the battery, i tried folding out my electric mirrors, they made it about half way, heh.
So i charged up my battery for roughly 2 hours, then placed it back in the car to confirm that it was actually charging as i did not have a multimeter to confirm this.
I placed the battery in, unlocked via fob, locked via fob & unlocked again. The red light below the ignition was switched indicating the car is not imobilized and everything seemed normal. I put in the key, turned it and the car started.
I removed the battery and then realised that i hadn't locked the car via the key fob, i placed the battery into the car and as i did so the positive cable fell and connected with the positive part of the battery, i quickly removed it.
I attached the battery again, negative first, followed by positive and tried to lock the car, the lock did not work.
I opened the car door, put the key in the ignition the siren made a short noise and the car started, i repeated this, same effect.
When the car is running if i press my key fob the light below the ignition flashes, indicating it's receiving a signal. However, the car will not lock via the key fob, it does not respond to testing by holding the key fob down either.
I have tried my spare key fob, i have tried locking and unlocking with the key to bring the system back into 'sync', i have tried resealing the car by opening all doors, windows, boot, bonnet etc... and closing, no effect.
I'm beginning to think i've fried my alarm system, although i hope to god i haven't as i could barely afford the tax this month!!
Any ideas, is there a way to reset the alarm system to defaults do you think the alarm system has got itself mixed up?
Help?!
laze.
