I have a clifford alarm and for some stupid reason the indicator is perminantly on and the remote does unlock the car
Anyone know the solution???????

 

last time i had this but it wasnt a clifford alarm, there was 2 fuses on the loom near the siren, one will be blown if its the same as what i had.

 

if your stuck go to www.clifford.co.uk and look for a trouble shoot guide or download the manual.

 

nice one!!!!! i'll have a look

 

had bugger all luck on the clifford web site

 

Gotta agree wit MR M

 

well i cant get in the car!!!!!!!

 

did you say the remote unlocks the car ?

 

cant you open it with the key and pop the bonnet, shove a towel on the siren to quiet it down.

 

thought about it. Will do in the morning! the clifford manual says if the light is on perminantly then its in valet mode, but the car is locked and will not unlock via remote????

 

When i had trouble with my clifford not unlocking the fob needed re-programming. The only way to dis-arm was to unlock the car and wait for 3 mins while the sirens go off. Then when they stop put the alarm into valet mode.

Not sure if you have the same problem but it might be wort a try.

To put the alarm in/out of valet is usually right hand button (on the side of the remote) twice, then the big fat one at the top.

Are your remote batteries in good condition ?

 

But not if the remote isn't working, then it has to be done from the switch in the car

 

the batteries are good as i get the red light every time i press a button. tried the side button twice then the main button........................... no luck. I do appreciate all your ideas though , KEEP EM COMING

 

Which model have you got?
If you enter your code for the alarm and put it in valet mode (via the plain view switch) it should turn the alarm off (shouldn't it?) Then try reprogramming the alarm for the key fob.

 

the red light on the keyfob will light up, doesnt mean to say the battery has enought strength to send the signal, try a spare fob or a new battery.

one other thing and bare with me on this, try holding the keyfob up under your chin so its pointing into it (this does work, its not to make you look stupid! ) and press the botton, this is proven as on top gear and i have tried myself, the keybob actually uses you to send the signal. trust me lol

 

sadly enough, that actually works!! if im standing too far from my work van for the remote to work i can sometimes point it at my head and it works, thus saving me walking a few yards closer to the van!!!

 

ok opened the car with the key today and no noise at all. no electrics either and obviously didnt start. try jumping it from my brother in laws van and still no good. he said he things the alarm has completely immobilised the whole car?????????????????????????????????

 

contact clifford then im afraid mate, or your closest clifford agent and ask them to come out

 

Thanks for all your suggestions.

 

I spoke to one Clifford dealer today who didnt really offer any advice, well he didnt really give a shit to be honest so back to the drawing board
