Mongoose M80 Problem

Hey all,

Last week my alarm decided to crack the sads with me. What happened was this.

With the Turbo Timer still counting down I arrived at work, closed the doors, got something out of the boot, closed it. Walked away from the car and went to arm it. The locking alert sound went but then it was followed by a second chirp. I went back to the car to see what was up. Turns out that I didnt close the drivers door properly, it was slightly ajar.

Problem is ever since, I cant lock and arm the car with the remote or have the motion sensor activate. The auto imobiliser still comes on after 30 seconds of shut down.

I can:

*Press the button on the remote, the light works

*lock the car with the original factory key (central locking)

*Disarm the car with the 4-digit override pin and start it

However I cannot:

*use the M80 remote to lock / unlock the doors

*use the M80 remote to arm the motion sensor

*use the M80 to disarm the motion sensor and imobiliser

Any ideas? It sure sucks atm having to do the 4-digit override with the alarm beeping every time I need to go somewhere. I dont feel comfortable knowing the motion sensor isnt working when I leave my car unlocked either. :domokun:

I have the same alarm.... although when that happens.. I just unlock it with the remote.... so unarmed... shut the door properly and rearm!

Sometimes I have buggered it up/confused it or something - so basically I had to unarm...shut the car down... turn the key to reds and turn off to reset the TT etc... and then lock again..

When you go to arm the car now... does it sound any warning signals such as a door is still open etc??? Possibly one of the sensors that determines that something is open are broken??? What happens if you shut the TT down straight away and try to arm? Does the alarm siren go off?? It should if it is still reading that a door is open and it isn't in the delayed TT mode

When I try to arm the car, it doesnt make any sound or signal.......doesnt matter if I try leave it running or off.

so have you lost the remote control side of it or does taht still work?

if so I'll send you the book (email pls) and you can rekey both remotes.

Cheers for the book mate, I managed to get the alarm into learning mode and tried to rekey the remote but still nothing.

Silly question but the batteries tend to die instantly in my M80... have you tried replacing them? Even though there will still be the LED flashing on the remote, there isn't enough power to transmit the signal....

All your problems you described also happen when the remote batteries need replacing, hence why I always have a spare battery on me!

Bingo! How easy is that.

I trusted the remote because the LED still flashed, next time I shouldnt assume :( . Spare remote works fine.

Cheers msnismo :(

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
