Unlocking the car with the key - alarm going off !
« on: 14 November 2008, 18:14:54 »
Hi - seems to be my day for bad luck today.

Had some van driver bump the rear of the car this morning and then my remote fob stopped working - split it open and the solder between the battery holder and the PCB has broken - tried to resolder it but unsuccesfully - so now using the key to lock the car BUT the alarm goes off when I unlock the door - only stops when I turn on the ignition.

Can I de-activate the alarm or stop it going off somehow - is there a method to unlock and un-alarm?

Have disconnected the power sounder already.

Hopefully will get a fob next week thanks to Markey Mark :y

Well the standard horn still sounds when the alarm is triggered - if it was just the flashing hazards then I could live with that for a few days - looks like I am stealing the car each time I go out in it!! :)

Don't deadlock it! Just turn the key halfway till it just locks, shouldn't set the alarm then :y

Mine doesn't dead lock like the pre-facelift models - its just turn anti-clock to lock (this seems to alarm it too) and then the key returns to the original upright/center position and then clockwise to un-lock the door - but as soon as the door opens the horn starts to beep and then hazards flash, I checked the manual too and this seems to be normal operation as far as using the key to lock and unlock.

I see your a bit of a dab hand at repairing them Martin - Once I get the new one up and running maybe you would take a look at the broken one and give me an estimate :)  I am going to get another key cut for the car so that I have 2 fully working keys for future  :y
