Guest Rsb Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I had something similar with mine recently that soon turned into the alarm going off all the time. Basically sounds like the alarm control unit is on its way out and not disarming fully. Normally if the alarm goes off it would immobilise the engine so weird your engine still runs. I managed to find a really good auto electirician who used to have a Supra who came and fitted a new alarm after removing old system - happy to pass on details of it helps. The original alarms are sadly too old to find new parts for from my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 CHeers RBS ....the car starts fine after I have blipped it off obviously ...I wonder if it's anything to do with the sliding switch on the side ..I'll give it a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus GTE Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 It's a normal annoying function of the UK alarm. I get around it by locking it and unlocking it. It then won't go off when you go to get back in. I used to know what the side switch did but I've forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Yes once the ignition has been on and the door shut the alarm will auto arm. As Marcus said a quick lock then unlock will sort this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the car battery gone flat recently ? Might need to use the master reset on the alarm control unit under the bonnet, this what I had to do when I had the problem your having after the battery on the car went completely flat.

Taz Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Fingers crossed its either the slidey button on the side that's sorted it or the fact that the car has not been started and then not set ,...but thank you everyone for helping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
