i was messing about with the key fob yesterday and ive silenced the alarm when it goes off no noise, just indicators flashing,any ideas anyone

SafeChav

Say that again.

You've silenced the alarm, so when it goes off theres no noise

if theres no noise how do you even know its going off?

daveselwood

i know its going off because the indicators are flashing

SafeChav

i see.

Check the connections to the siren in the first instance?

is it a new alarm or old?

daveselwood

ive had it a couple of months i was in programming mode trying to silence it on arm disarm and some how silenced the whole thing

SafeChav

ahhhhhh i see.

You not got the manual for it still then? It shows the menu layout and how to access each feature and change it etc

daveselwood

ive got the installation instructions and part of the manual as iv spilt oil on most of them so im struggling

SafeChav

i think i may have them on my pc in PDF format, not sure though.

daveselwood

if you manage to find them could you pm me please

SafeChav

i have got them mate, and its just a text document

daveselwood

SafeChav

You cannot silence the main alarm function from the key fob as this deletes the point of the alarm(thatcham???), BUT my dad had this some 2 months or so ago on his 4i, and it turned out to be a very small amount of corrosion on the battery terminal between the round post and the clamp and no I could not beleive it either.
It worked perfect, armed,disarmed, triggered etc but no sound, battery ok car starting perfect, need a hefty starter and battery for 4 litre anyway but no sound, thought it worth a go so cleaned up terminal and perfection right away.

ps ai606 as well

daveselwood

still no sound is there a way of testing the siren on its own. i know it has a permanent supply to it and the brown is the trigger wire

i have the same alarm and that is in silent mode to

SafeChav

arm the alarm and unplug disconnect the multi plug to the wiren, it should go off......this may help you determine if the siren is knackered or not.

had the same problem on my old mans skyline,
binned the alarm and got a viper one in the end

SafeChav

you can't bin a Toad!

Toads are well reliable

s2 ben

its not the siren as it goes off fine just when i lock the doors it doesnt beep

daveselwood

armed it and unpluged it while armed and it doesnt go off

SafeChav

back up battery could be shot in the siren then, clutching at straws though
