My mate bought a new battery for his escort rs after fitting it his clifford alarm is constantly armed and won't disarm, so he can't use his car has anyone else had a similar problem or knows how to fix it. the alarm is a clifford concept 50x, he hasn't done anything to the car apart from change the battery.

thanks Ash

 

has he connected the thin wire that goes to the red battery terminal?

 

Just spoke to him he said that it is connected up. he's been trying to sort it tonight but still no joy.

 

try changing the battery in the remote!

ps tell him to put it in Valet mod then as he should be able to use the car till he gets it sorted!

 

Clifford alarms are fuckin shit

they have their moments!

Toad is the way to go (for future reference)

But as said see if you can get it into valet mode with the keypad inside!

 

sounds like the alarm has lost its code memory so its not recognising the remote , if he opens the car and disarms it on the 2 button dash switch ( its should be in the alarm manual how to do this ) and follow the instructions for "learning a new remote" also found in the manual

 

for the future!! next time(not helping you at the moment though!!)before the battery is disconected clip your battery charger to your battery terminal cable then as you remove the battery you still have a feed to your alarm etc(clip to earth on body) the alarm only needs a small amount of current to keep it alive!! as the other guy says put it in mode-. as it happens you have a small power pack that keeps your alarm going in the event of battery disconection!!!!!!!!!!!-the alarm is actually doing its job and waiting for you to tell it what to do!!!!!!!

 

[quote="SafeChav"]Clifford alarms are fuckin shit

ALOT of the problems caused with Clifford alarms ARE caused by the so called fitter fitting them poorly and NOT the actual alarms units themselve which aint too bad to be fair !

 

Your probably right!

But it just always seems to be the Cliffords!! Rare to hear of a faulty/malfunctioning Toad

there you go you may of started something now!

 

The way i see it thats something like Clifford 128345324823754 - 1 Toad

 

if he hasnt got the manual he can get one off ebay about £2.50 if that doesnt sort it i have a concept 50 brain with remotes recently removed from my cossie

 

Lol, while i was thinking of it, i removed a concept 300 from a MK4 a while back.....and i think your comment about poor fitment was a little below the belt mate.

Can you see anything wrong here...........



Looks all good to me

 

Mine done the same a year ago. the power of the new battery fucked it.

Hence i had a new one fitted


Dave

 

Thats been fixed

 

Doesnt say on there its been fixed though?

 

He PM'd me and said that he went into test mode then exited test mode and that sorted it

 

DAMN IM GOOD

 

Add another one onto the clifford score for me

Hold button down for 30 seconds and the alarm control unit will sort itself out.
