JohnA Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Ever since the battery fell below 11.5v some days ago, the alarm refuses to arm. The battery now is 12.8V so it's fully charged, everything works fine. Just the bloody alarm won't work. Does anyone know how to reset the damn thing? Apparently relevant info has been posted and deleted by the moderators, so a search brings nada. Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supragold Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Could start with checking alarm fuses. Not sure how a fuse could have gone but its somewhere to start. A fuse could stop it from locking the doors and arming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wez_p Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 are the doors & boot definitely closed? i was gutted one day after cleaning the car when it just kept unlocking again after i armed it, thinking i'd got water in somewhere - turned out to be the door on the passenger wasn't shut properly & it was letting me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 I'm sure it has something to do with the battery voltage going too low. When I was trying to start the car it would go tick-tick-tick-tick and the alarm would try to cry with every tick. It was very sad. Now that the battery is up and running the alarm is playing dead. Surely there must be a procedure to reset the thing. What does the right (red) button do anyway? Or that switch on the side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I can't believe that nobody on this board knows how to reset the alarm... That's because most of them have after market ones.. Best bet is to speak to Mr Harwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Dunno if its any help as alarms are not my thing but do you think it could have lost its key code ? worth a thought http://mkiv.com/techarticles/keyless_entry/programming_keyless_entry/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 I thought that the UKSpec alarm is unique to them (rebadged Scrorpion unit according to some) Therefore what mkiv.com have is irrelevant. Or is this not the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 the thing is you can't really drive the car anywhere without the alarm working, can you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Harwood Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 You could try giving Matt a call on 01622 683044, this will take you through to either his or Ian's mobile phones-but they work together so if you get Ian just ask for Matt.
