Alarm Problems

[Coxie]

Ok so I had the battery out of my car to give it a charge as I havent used the car for awhile. Put the battery back in (did accidently arc the spanner out on the parcel tray) and alarm was still working (disarming immobiliser)tried starting the car but the battery did not have enough grunt to start the engine. After checking if the terminals were tight and secure, shortly after I heard 3 beeps from the alarm, as if I had kicked the tyre or sumthing. I then tried to start the car again, but the immobilizer would not disarm, I can see the light on the remote flicker but I am not getting any response from the car. Strange thing is that when I watch the LED on my steering column flashing and I had down the button on my remote, this LED will stop flashing, so the alarm is obviously recieving some signal from the remote. Have checked all fuses, but can't find anything wrong.

Car is r33 gtst s2, unsure of alarm type as there are no brand names on the remote or the black alarm box under the dash.

Anybody have any idea what could be wrong?

flat battery, go buy a new one and I dare say it will work.

Car battery or remote battery?

The alarm is not struggling to sound when I try turn the key so I don't think the battery is the problem. In the past the alarm would still work until the battery was completely dead

I managed to track down what kind of alarm it is and found a manual, it appears to be a mongoose M60 Series. And with reading of the manual I think what has happened is when I tried to start the car the 2nd time, but battery was flat so just turned ignition on and off repeatedly, the right amount of times to put the alarm into remote learning mode, which would explain the 3 short beeps shortly after. And since I didn't repsond with my remote it deleted it from memory and now has no remotes programmed to work with it. The problem here is to get back into remote learning mode I have to disarm the alarm before switching the ignition on and off 3 times, but I can't disarm the alarm without a remote... so I'm stuck. There must be some way of disarming the alarm without needing a remote...
