Clifford concept 50 led help!

[Deefadog]

Never know where to post alarm problems so here goes

The last couple of days the big LED light on my concept 50 has been playing up.

If you know this alarm, when deactivated the led is of and when it is active it flashes, but the led has come constant on when i am driving and when activated it flashes and goes from bright to a dim light, instead of bright to off and on again.

anyone got any ideas on this?

sounds like it's in valet mode to me.

[Deefadog]

Yeah, it the same as vallet mode, but it's not

Could be an earthing problem? or is this a warning from the alarm that the internal battery may be dying? as as soon as i drive for a few minutes it goes out and it's all fine!

Does sound like it's in Valet mode but that disables when you turn the ignition back on flat remote battery will only give you half a muted chirp on arm/ disarm. try putting it in proper valet mode with the clearview valet switch and then turn ignition on and off might just cure it.

Cheers mate, i have the manual (somewhere)

I already tried your suggeston, did not work

Been a while mate try this! put it in valet mode and pull both fuses to the alarm this will clear any glitches but hopefully not programming, alternatively you can do a factory reset if you have the installer manual or take it to a clifford dealer never used to cost anything for clifford checks and problems at my old place iirc.

[Deefadog]

Good thinking, i know where one fuse is no idea where the other one is!

I'll trace all leads i think and see id anything is loose. I tried putting it into vallet mode but it would not go? this must be the problem, ironic that vallet mode does not workbut the LED shows that the function is on all the time

Where can I get replacement remotes for this model?

[Deefadog]

I don't know mate, i need to get a new one, as the buttons are going on the one i have!

Have you had any problems like mine?

[monzablue16v]

You could just disconnect the battery but if it's not in Valet mode your siren will blare away for a while can you use the remote to put it in valet mode?
