Default POS Alarm

The alarm has just started not responding to the blipper! The doors unlock but as soon as I get in and turn the car on off goes the alarm.

The car starts fine BTW with the alarm sounding. If I switch off and then blip the alarm again its fine.

Anyone had this before? Is it likely to be the blipper batteries?

When my keyfob batteries go too low I can unlock the car and the alrm, but not deactivate the immobiliser.

I had problems with the alarm going off for no reason, 5 minutes after setting it. Main board of the alarm itself replaced under warranty.

Just be careful not to lock yourself in your Garage, when the alarm is going off

It seems strange that you can get enough signal to do one part but not another! How bad a design is that!!!!!

What batteries do the small two button blippers take? Don't want to remove mine until I have a new one to replace it with as it'll probably never work again.

Hmmm, just startyed replying and my computer completely died, hope that doesn't happen again. The batteries are a23's (1 per blipper). Halfords or similar kepp them. I had problems with my alarm recently and asked honda if battery would un alarm but not un immobilise and he said not. Guess these alarms are very tempermental. The circuit board on mine was slightly fried .

I'd change the batteries first, but I think it's unlikely. When mine last ran right down, I managed to get the car unlocked, but the immobiliser didn't disengage. I then tried a few more times and managed to fry the immobiliser in the process apparently.. Anyway, one AA trip the the dealer and it was replaced under warranty.

If your car starts and you have no alarm after some ignition jiggerypokery, then I'd say it is your immobiliser/alarm at fault.

Should only take them half an hour to diagnose for you - and you probably won't have to wait if you leave it with the alarm going off outside reception

If by two button, you mean one of these below



Then it's an L1022 9v battery which is hard to get in the shops; may have to visit your stealers. When I changed mine, they initially gave me the wrong battery (presumably the one for the other remote), so make sure you get the L1022.

That's the one Shiskine.

It's stopped doing it now so I'll just change the battery and see if it happens again!

Cheers all!

You can buy these batteries for buttons on the net - I can't remember the site, but there are a few places that specialise in just batteries.

I always keep a spare in the car in caes I get the unlock but immobilised thing again.
