My alarm doesn't work. There is no flashing LED the key fobs don't do anything, the engin starts regardless of whether I have the key fob attached. I have checked all the fuses (in the dash, in the engin bay in the fuse box), all are good.. I have checked the interior light buttons.. no problem, checked the batteries in the fob, fine.. but no alarm.
Now it used to work and then there was a n electrical fult, the loom rubbed through on the gearbox there were sparks, blown light and a couple of dead fuses but all were fixed with no (apparent side effects). Shortly after the LED started blinking rapidly then stopped.. it has never worked since.
I have tried the prescribed diagnostic test (opening bonnet, ignition on, ignition off, etc etc but nothing.
The only thing I can think of is if the electrical fault gave the alarm ECU a jolt and became unassociated from the keys, if so I presume its a dealer job (or a mobile alarm specialist maybe?).
Oh, and I have a spider bypass fitted.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
