Yesterday this light on top of my dash came on, and it hasnt gone off since, even when the car is parked overnight. The car has started cutting out, and refusing to fire ever since. I believe its something to do with the alarm. Some one told me earlier its from the std FORD alarm (i'm not to sure about that) but the car does also have a cat1 alarm fitted.


Please can someone give me some advice on this the car is undriveable.

 

its the std frod alarm mate

jst lock and unlock your drivers dorr and ten just carry on using the cat 1 alarm

all should be ok

 

Holy crap, I just did that and it works fine!!!!!!!!!

The light is still on though!!!

I take it the connection with the drivers door is ropey then?

 

ahh is that what it is, wondered that, mine dunt light up at all tho i dont think

 

disconnect the factory alarm

they are wank

 

any ideas how you disconnect it?

 

drivers side footwell on the right behind the plastic insert

 

take front door cars off and look on the lock barrel u will see the sensor rapped around the barrel ,black circular plastic clip ,just undo it from barrel and leave it in bottom of door , there is also a multiplug iirc u can dismantle aswell ,but there are loads of multiplugs inside door so watch what ones u dismantle , u can also disconnect the push sensor on front upper panel where vin tags are that detects the bonnet aswell

the brains for it should be above ur feet at the pedals also and is marked that its for the alarm system

 

well ive never actually used mine on any of my sierras, i usually just disconnect the ed and have my after market alarm one in there to sav edrilling holes in the dash somewhere

 

thanks guys that really useful, saved me a few bob in an auto electritians.

 

alarm is still playing up (water getting to it) and the red light is still on. I have had a look to remove the std alarm, but there is a black wire from the aftermarket system that is spliced into one of the wires.

 

for future reference, I removed the fuse for the hazards for a few days, this disarms the alarm. I put it back in today and all is fine again. light has gone off. So I have removed the alarm brain and wrapped it in plastic so it is watertight now. all is dandy.
