what alarm is it?

if its G4 onwards its something you choose when you install the alarm so varies.

When in valet mode the alarm light should be on solidly on most cliffords.


Who isntalled it?

you need to ask them really.

IIRC its the two on the left at the same time.

But im not positive as i always change mine in case it falls into the wrong hands as it allows you to do it when armed which gets around the anti hijack!

cheers

have done the new earths and the car is a little happier now

the lights still flicker very lightly when the engine is running????


so far have replaced the main batt earth and engine to wing earth....anyone know where the rest are? have cleaned the earth on the windscreen wiper mount as well

where next

someone suggested it may be the diode in the alternator but would that make the batt light come on (as this doesnt happen)

cheers guys

alternator sounds a good place to look mate, as it sounds like the voltage isnt stable with the alternator running
