Default alarm advice?

Wonder if anyone can help me, i am having problems with the alarm on my s2 that i have just bought. For some reason the wire that connects to the live has been left unconnected and when i reattach it the alarm just activates and wont stop, the fob light flashs but will not disarm it. It is a clifford not sure what model. Any ideas??

Is it new ? If so it's been fitted by an authorised Clifford installer as I'm sure they are the only people Clifford sell to. Take the car back !!!

mate personally id go to an authorised clifford dealer and get them to rip the lot out and put a fresh concept 650 or whatever in.

or u'll be having problems till the cows come home.

I'd just rip it out and put a different alarm in but then I'm not a lover of Clifford alarms at the best of times. Deffo get it to a Clifford agent to be looked at as something sounds a bit off

It cant be fitted properly or the immobiliser side of things have been disconnected because the car shouldent run.
Like the other guys said get it into a dealer to have it fixed or a new alarm fitted before some thieving scum drives the car away
Unless you know your electrics i could send you a copy of the wiring diagram depending on what clifford it is
