Well there i was going to bed around 11:45... then a car alarm goes off. Ohh damn its mine.
Now the lights where not going off just the high piched wee orrr sound.... my thoughts were backup alarm battery. cause that was beeping a while ago.
The car has also been stood still for nearly a month...
So went out, tryed to start it... was half dead. Few dim lights came one, spanner and EM light flashing.
So got the jump box out attached it the battery and she started.... ok i thought run it for a while take it for a spin get some charge in there and it should be done.
However the hazard warning lights came on (indicators on all around) pressing the alarm off button did'nt do anything. Pressed the boot release button on the remote, that stopped them for a while but they just came on again after a few seconds.
I then pressed "open" on the remote key with the key in the barrel and the engine running.... ohh bugger the whole car went dead, nothing.....
Turn the key off and on again, all that comes on is the "Auto" on the climate system nothing else
Try and turn it over, nothing it barley manages to turn but i think its immobilsed?
So got out, tryed to lock & open it, see if that would re-set it.... now the lock button on my remote had been dogey for a while, getting harder and harder to press..... sods bloody law it was refusing to lock via the remote... so got my house key and started prodding it... must have done it too hard it just fell to bits
- i was trying to pull up the plastic to get access to the button, but i totally buggered the button, its now in peices!
I have the remote key, the open button is intact, but if u press it the little red led does not flash, in other words totally buggered my key.
Being lazy and stupid thats my only key!
I did buy another new one off fleabay but its not been programed to my car yet as i was comming home at xmas to get it done by TheBoy...
So to stop the alarm going off i have disconnected the battery on the car.
I am going to have to get my parents to post me the log book for the car, so i can apply for a Car Pass at the Vaux dealer.
Question is, if i get the car pass... and the new key and forward them to TheBoy, can he program them up without the car being there??
An even better question is when i get the key back how to i get the car running again, as i seam to have emobilsed it as only "Auto" comes on the climate dash and nothing else inside the car.
Ahh bugger is all i can say and going to bed now, but posting this now while i remember it all.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: The horn was not going off it was just the siren, car not used for 3 weeks. Could the backup alarm battery module take power from the main battery and drain it?
