hi guys

I have a alarm system and the remote doesn't seem to operate as it should.

thought randomly it works fine.

I assumed it was the battery, but when I replaced it it was still the same.

anyone have a rough idea of what may be the issue or is it simply the fact my remote is stuffed?

If there is anymore information I need to share to assist with someone helping me.

please let me know.

Regards

Sloane

I have the smae problem wuth my remote.

I used to try changing the battery, I now just crack the shits and tap the remote on something...... lol not the best fix, but it makes me feel better :)

If any one knows a way to fix this issue,I would also be greatful for the information.

yeah mate had the exact problem with a customers car at work. pulled it apart and found two dry solder joints. resolder them and it worked like a treat. if you are good with a solder iron then give it a go cos if you take else where they will tell you to replace the remote.

Same god damn problem with me aswell!

Curse the previous owner who had to install a shitty eBay alarm grrr !!

Solder it aye? Hmm.

And what if that doesnt work lol ?

I played around with the 2 dials in the remote..

Didnt do anything for me.

Don't touch it unless you have a back up plan if you stuff it up lol

I notice its been working fine when I point remote to engine direction :ermm:

I remember I've got a Spare Remote but its at a relatives so will have to pick it up.

I lurk on a huge list of forums, lol.

And your dead right, dont try to fix the remote if you dont have a fail-safe plan, that's just asking for trouble, and will put you into a bad situation.

With my previous car, someone installed a cheap ebay POS alarm, and wired it in quite stupidly, so I had the car towed (became unstartable) to an auto electrician and set him to task to remove the mess and set the car back to stock.

He did this, and then I went and got a proper alarm system installed in the car.

hey guys

stupid remote not working again

i tried my spare remote to see if it worked and didn't do anything either....

now I'm getting all sorts of weird beeping and basically have no friggin central locking meaning i need to open door via the key.....

and to start my car now I have to put key in ignition

set the alarm off then press remote to disable immobiliser and alarm (only time it seems to work)

just to start my car!!!! :sleep:

I'm going to ring the installers tomorrow who installed the alarm about the issues I'm having.

I got this installed on 25th January 2008

spent about $2200 at their workshop

Just curious as to whether they should fix this issue under a warranty?

Can some please verify that.

If all goes down the drain I will be seeing Chris Rogers.

    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
