MrRalphMan Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I've had the battery off the car for a couple of weeks and when I tried to move it today I couldn't turn the alarm off, so I assume the fob has become unsynced from the alarm. I've found a few methods on here too reset it, but none have worked so far. This is the standard alarm, with the square fob, so do you know the correct methods for that type?

Scooter Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Many many moons ago I had the same and the alarm had to come out in the end. I'll see if I can find any info, do you have a "castle key" that rings a bell with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 The fixed search function is awesome, found my old thread, so it looks like a new alarm Ecu might be needed? https://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?10057-flat-battery-reset-alarm-problem&highlight=Castle+key Search function, search for. "castle key" And you get lots of other threads that might help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 Thanks for the reply mate, yes I've the castle key, but looks like the sounder under the bonnet has been removed already, so it only sounds when the battery is connected. Tried a few things, like pressing the button or buttons for 15 seconds or so. Going to try the 'removing the dome fuse' method, but might try replacing the fob battery first. At least I can drive it with the alarm going of, to move it, as it's got a separate Clifford immobiliser. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 89730-14050 Is I think the part number if you end up having to replace. Searching that number gives a member who was doing his only back in late 2019, might be worth a pm to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus GTE Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Having this problem too. Think I’m just going to have a new system installed. The standard alarm has always been a pain when it works; never mind when it doesn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 Ok, so I'm guess I'm lucky, a new fob battery sorted everything for me. Phew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus GTE Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Wow lucky you! So was it the normal key to on and press the black button till it takes for about half a minute? I tried replacing the battery in my key fob so no such luck for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
