LeighV6 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) You need to do this. 1. Disconnect negative battery terminal 2. Turn key in ignition to acc 3 position i.e so dash would light up if battery was connected 3. Wait till at least 30 seconds has elapsed since disconnecting the battery then reconnect the negative terminal. 4. Once reconnected press and hold both alarm buttons till the indicators flash.

cuchilo Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Thanks for the quick reply but that solution is for the facelift model with the teardrop remote. Dave You need to do this. 1. Disconnect negative battery terminal 2. Turn key in ignition to acc 3 position i.e so dash would light up if battery was connected 3.

cuchilo Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) well tried that and not working .... gettin pissed off now ... i have taken glove box out and i think i found the control unit for the alarm ... i pulled a fuse that has stopped the lights flashing and lets me turn the engine over but it still won't start .... it either stops the power to coil or fuelpump so stuck now .... could do with knowing which other fuse disables this function or which wire to cut.... any ideas?

sbdags Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Are the lights flashing when you reconnect the battery? Just hit the black button once. This should work. It foxed me a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuchilo Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Wahoo! Sorted it! .... found the fuse that turned the flasher, siren and elecronic inhibitetor, then removed the cable group that entered the control boxes fo the alarm/immobiliser .... hey presto car starts first time .. Just need to check everything works before I reassemble the glovebox and trim. Edited February 11, 2011 by cuchilo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
