Urgent Help!

[Sage222]

Hi All,

I am stuck at work.. i think my m35 optional extra alarm is f*king up.. my car wont start all that i get is a couple of accessory lights..

No headlights.. the button on the key wont lock or unlock the doors.. something weird is going on..

i think it might have something to do with the AUTO button near the headlight adjustment dial (next to the drivers right knee)..

Anyone got any hints or tips? i am going to have to organise a toe if i cant work it out real soon!

please help!

thanks to all./

i think it has to do with one of these buttons - attached.

That is the auto mirror drop switch, for reversing. But the other thing under your gas gauge, what is that?

[whiteaxis]

The "auto" button is the same as mine but it just prevents the wing mirrors from turning downwards when you are in reverse. "too slow, same as my car compared to scotts!"

The small aerial looking socket to the right is also the same as mine which came with a strange looking key which presses into it.

Apparently this is an immobiliser. Do you have a key ? Where are you located ?

If not alarm / immobiliser stuffing up, maybe a battery terminal is not tight. Try giving them a wiggle.

right now i am in richmond, victoria..

just taken off the negative terminal.. made the alarm go off.. just changed the battery in the key (hoping its that simple).. going out now to reconnect the negative and try with a new battery..

fingers crossed!

[Iron Chef]

The car is in Park, yeah?

[bangahh]

Do you know what your alarm overide code is ?

[Sage222]

dont have any small key.. only ignition key... no idea what the override code is either..

confirmed terminals are tight.. been in contact with the dealer..

looks like i am up for a tow.. $200 ouch.. then ill leave it with the dealer to sort out..

not much fun..

appreciate the help guys..

i just thought of something else.. the thing is stuck in gear! anyone know how to tow these things when you cant shift em?

How does the "shift lock" thing work? can i tow by 2 wheels only while its in park?

How is it stuck in gear? Put the key in the ignition, turn it to accessories/on (But obviously not trying to crank it over), and then with your foot on the brake shift it into N?Your key will have to remain IN the car whilst it is in N. Once its on the back of a flatbed it can be put back into P & key out.

[Sage222]

yeah that aint working Dunc.. something aint right.. when i get to accessory only some lights light up instead of all.. (airbag, handbrake and 1 other from memory)..

alarm is getting in the way of all sorts of shit..

f*kn cars.. always trouble!

[zei20l]

to the right of the P postion is the shift lock release. remove the little cover, then stick a small screw driver in there. it will allow you to push in the gear shift release button.

[Sage222]

thanks zei20l will give it a shot.

[Chris Rogers]

yep there is a shift lock over ride. now I think everyone gets WHY I pull these things OUT of cars..

[zei20l]

its to stop kids from pretending to drive and then letting the car go with them in it.
