Autowatch Alarm - Key Fob Only Sets Off Alarm

[JH32]

Hi

I've had the biggest mess around with the car today trying to change the clutch master cylinder, and after my third and last trip to Repco in the wife's car I got back home, pressed the key fob to unlock the Skyline and the alarm started going off. I'm not sure if I pressed the button too many times or what has happened, but none of the buttons will respond. The car won't unlock, lock, nothing. I can open the car door with the key but I can't do anything else; if I put the key in the ignition and press buttons nothing happens.

After not being able to undo the ridiculously placed nut on the brake booster, and then rounding the little nut on the hardline to the master cylinder, I'm sure the car just doesn't want a new master cylinder after all.

Any help is appreciated, I don't know if I've put it into some sort of emergency / panic mode but I have no idea how to reset it / get it back to normal.

The key fob looks like the following pic, but I don't know what model Autowatch alarm it is, it came with the car

Also put new batteries in both key fobs, didn't make any difference. The little red light comes on but has no effect on the car. A real pain not just because I can't finish off the master cylinder but because I can't roll it back in the garage

Help is only a phone call away. Emails back and forth will take too long

check your main battery connection. those alarms do not fail. yours is a 446 premium.

Cheers guys, I actually spoke to Leon from Security in Motion yesterday (danielr34 above) who was extremely helpful - he suggested a variety of things.

I'm not sure what happened but it appears that something must have drained the battery extremely quickly, and the next day the battery was completely flat (read: dead). Bought a new battery today and it all works again; I checked the amp draw at the battery as well and it was 0.05A so absolutely no idea how the battery died so quickly. But all fixed, thanks very much for the replies
