alarm setting without key
All,
I have a 1999(T) 156 1.8TS. According to the manual, if I exit the car, lock the door with the key (using the lock, not the remote button), the alarm should arm in 30secs (if I remember correctly). However, this does not happen - any ideas why not ? The reason I ask is that, of the 2 red keys I got when I bought the car, one of them no longer works (remote button on the pcb has come off). Therefore, if the other goes I'll be relying on the above mechanism for the alarm to set - but it doesn't. Also, it means I have to share a key with the wife, rather than each carrying one - otherwise on of us wont be able to use the alarm. |

If so, summing brocked mate :-) Pete -- > 156 2.0 TS (2001) - Proteo Rosso (his) 147 2.0 TS (2002) - Gem Green (her's) |

Oops, will try the 'proper' way later...! Thanks. |

Have you tried being very pedantic? Insert key. Turn to the Unlock position and then straight to the Locked position, holding the key in the locked position for 30 sec. If this still fails then something is certainly wrong. Pete -- > 156 2.0 TS (2001) - Proteo Rosso (his) 147 2.0 TS (2002) - Gem Green (her's) |
