alarm sounds continuously when disconnecting battery
« on: 01 September 2009, 16:45 »
Advice please. On disconnecting the battery in order to carry out other work the alarm sounds continuously. It obviously has its own internal power source but is this normal behaviour (i can't recall it doing that before) and how do i shut the bloody thing up!!  :laugh: Its a Logic 850/950 btw. Thanx.

Do you have a reset button hidden somewhere? A small key type thing you never realised what it was for?

Hi, I don't think so.....In fact the unit for the imob/alarm is not where it should be. Apparently it should be behind a panel below the glove box (next to the manual overide slot) One time i followed the wiring and it disappeared deep behind the instrument cluster. Maybe using the transmitter fob in the slot might work. Thats just occured to me.
