hi all, my remote central locking and alarm stopped working, led flashing away, could use the key to open doors imobaliser working no problem car started and ran ok. changed the battery in the remote no joy, so i just tried disconnecting the battery as someone else did on the forum and leaving for ten mins as he had done, reconnected battery now the alarm keeps going off and no responce from fob any ideas ? its a factory fitted alarm 91 se. dont know the make, 4 buttons on the fob with a sliding cover with the word 'allremote' i think, as it well worn.

IIRC the box is behind the glove box
Drop the glove box and it should be to the right of the aperture.....

Stupid question but do you have a second remote?....also how was the battery in the first?

[lotustonybassplayer]

no second remote, only got the one with the car, put a new battery in the remote when i thought that was the intial problem ie would not set the alarm or unlock doors. but car still drove ok. just use the key central locking all worked fine. i have a seperate immobilizer that you touch by ignition barrel had like it in my old astra van that i use to have. so the alarm is in activated mode so reconnecting sounder has not helped fuel pump as hj2 mentioned, so alarm switched off with the barrel switch to stop sounder and horn going off !

well i got the car running inertia switch in wrong position i must of touched it when disconnecting battery the alarm now, appears not to be the original one, as looking on ebay i spotted my fob on a 29.99 remotedoor/ alarm system i spoke to the seller and he said that the fob was unique to those systems, so some further investigating required so if the sun comes out this weekend at least it is usable thanks to all who replied
