Default Toad Alarm Probs

Hi all,

I recently fitted a new alternator to my FRST and since my alarm light stays on even if the alarm is off, i've checked the earth on the alternator, checked the battery but no joy.

Any ideas??

Trouble shooting part it says:

If led lit check batteries in all radio key's and that they are programed in to the unit

You know what these manuals are like might as well be written in taiwan
