remote fault

[wing nut]

when i used to open and close my doors using the key fob ,the indicaters used to flash ,now they dont  :?  ive checked all the fuses and nothing appears to be blown ..any ideas ?????thanks in advance

[shaun and co]

i've heard of this being attributed to the immobiliser not working. apparently the lights only flash if the immobiliser is working but i dont know how true this is.

I've heard (a rumour) that there is another fuse connected the the alarm ECU which is buried just above the passenger footwell (behind the relays), but I haven't dug mine out yet to check.

Could it be something as simple as the batteries in the remote running low? ISTR that Rover cars wouldn't flash the indicators to warn that the batteries need replacing, but it's a long time since I drove anything other than a LR.

Give that man a pat on the back. He is right.

I had it with mine. The battery still lasted about 8 months after the indicators stopped flashing.

4flashes = battery ok, no flashing = batteries low.

Easy to change them too.

Don't want to high jack this thread but my alarm is weird too and no one I speak too knows whats wrong with it :!:
Mine will unlock off the remote and flash the lights no problems but will not lock off it. If I use the key in the lock then the lights flash, central locking kicks in and all good. It used to intermittantly lock off the remote but didn't flash the lights and then stopped.

Any idea's  :?:

Mmmmm,

Looked at remote key for mine when I need a new twin button fob - by the ime I had bought one from remote key and then had it tuned to the ECU it was just as cheap to go to the dealer, who re-programmed my old one at the same time so I then had one new one and one working but dodgy old one..........

Oh and yeah - as above if the lights stop flashing its usually the batteries - easy way to tell is to open the bonnet and hold down the alarm switch then whilst keeping it presssed down lock the car with the remote, wait for over the 30 seconds or so it takes for the alarm to set up, (you can tell by getting an assistant to watch the dashboard LED - when it goes into steady flash mode from rapid flash mode the alarm is set), then release the bonnet switch - you'll know instantly if the alarm is working or not!

Tatty bye.
