Scoboblio Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 When I tried to start my car this morning the battery was flat. After a few attempts the ticking over stopped and I got the tell tail clicking noise (which I believe is indicitive of a flat battery). Having got a mate rount to attempt a jump start the alarm (lazerline cat 1) started sounding constantly regardless of what I did with the keyfob. I can't turn the alarm off and it's driving me (and neighbours etc) up the wall. Because the battery's flat I can't even shut the window which was open Strange thing is when I turn the ignition off, one indicator (right hand set) come on and stay on (albeit dim). All in all it's doing some very strange electrical things and right now I'm stumped..... has anyone seen this sort of thing before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Low or flat batteries can cause all sorts of strange electrical behaviour. My suggestion would be to remove the battery and give it a proper re-charge. The siren 'should' stop after 5 minutes. If it doesn't stuff the front opening with an old T-shirt. It wont last too long.

martynb Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Matt is right and I would add that I would never jump start a car like this,there is too much to fry in the electronics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted October 3, 2004 Author Share Posted October 3, 2004 Cheers guys, problem solved (for now at least). RAC truck turned up and jumped it (it would seem that my mates cables weren't up to the task) and everything seems fine. Given it a run about for the last 90 mins to put a bit of charge back in her and it's off out tomorrow for a new battery BTW the constant alarm drone was apparantly caused by the voltage drop sensor May be a long night if it starts playing up again. :flame Dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
