Car alarm is on and the missus washed the remote with my jeans! Help!

[850t5]

As above. My 850 has the alarm on and my remote doesn't work due to a heavy spin cycle :( How do I turn the alarm off using the key only. I've disconnected the battery for now to see if that'll work but otherwise I'm stumped....

[850t5]

Ok, disconnecting the battery didn't work. Anyone out there with an idea or shall I give it a vikings funeral? :ukliam2: :firedevil: :hilarious:

[Plodmonkey]

not a clue mate u tried letting alarm go of then starting the car its an idea

[Charmie86]

try unlocking the car with the key and starting the car i think that should disconnect the alarm cause the code from the key should turn it off, but could be wrong

[850t5]

I've tried both of the above now and it still won't start :( Just the indicators flash and the horn beeps some more lol My neighbours love me right now :D

fob went on my t5 tried all that no joy needed a new fob local dealer mate

unplug the alarm horn if it annoys you. its located just in front of the bulkhead in the engine bay in the middle. its a got a little clip plug on the back.

After you've done that, its a lot more pleasant messing around with the alarm going off...

I think you can get a new keyfob and program it to the car somehow... Don't know if you can do that when the alarm is going off though - there would be instructions about that somewhere on the forum

I found this it might be of some use. The chap who wrote it works for a Car Alarm specialist and said it is for the 850.

Normally, you would insert the key in
the drivers door, turn left, then right
to disarm and reset it. If yours is malfunctioning,
you can disable it for good by doing the following:

The FACTORY ALARM DISARM WIRE IS
BLACK/YELLOW (-) AT THE HOOD PIN.

Once Located, splice into this wire with
a simular guage wire, and put it to
a solid chassis ground. This terminates
the alarm functions entirely.

had the same done to me i went swimming with mine got back the car could not do nothing and i done the door thing about 20 times and the girl stopped beeping at me then got home and put the fob in a nice place and 2 hours or so later it was working again lol i hope that helps fella :)

[850t5]

Thanks lads :) I've left my remote on a radiator all night and ordered some fresh batteries just in case it comes back to life. I'll try the left-right key turn and prey :D Wish me luck :D

Which pin/switch on the bonnet? The bonnet release catch? I'm clueless in case you hadn't noticed :jaw: lol A pic would be nice if possible :wiggle:

The left and right key turn didn't work :( Maybe new batteries will work? I await the postman with a heavy heart...

Hi buddy. Do you need a new fob? I managed to get 2 from a local scrappy with a bunch of other stuff. I hope they just need new batteries. Want me to send you one? Free!

Hell yeah mate :D I'd happily pay you some cash for the deed :) They easily reach £20 plus on ebay! Wouldn't want to see you out of pocket...

Hey don't worry, they cost me pittance. I got a tone of stuff and they didn't even feature. So in the grand scheme of things, you need one more than me! I've just popped a battery in them and they seem to make the right noises. PM me your address and I'll pop one to you.

[martybelfastt5]

you can pull two fuses under the bonnet,,,alarm immob and central locking should let you start it ect but wont have the above items so be careful

Which 2 fuses? :D

[martybelfastt5]

[850t5]

New batteries didnt work so I'll report back when I've pulled the fuses :D My week sucks so far :D

[Niles]

6 & 16 iirc

[shrekblackR]

Hi pal apparently if you put it in a container with dry rice this will draw any moisture out . You can only try . I was told this by an old person lol good luck buddy

[850t5]

Thanks lads :D My car is now alive again :) Turning the key 5 times in 10secs didn't work but the alarm was armed so I'll try again once the alarm is reset (£10 incoming Woody ;) )

I had to pull the fuses in the end but it was just nice to hear her roar into life :D

Many thanks to all,
Danny.

I've only just seen this thread..what a palaver eh :eek:

is it all sorted now?

[macp]

Just seen the thread glad you have sorted it somewhat. The positive spin is your wife is very trusting as she doesnt check your pockets. Mine doesnt either.

Yep she's running again :D My t5 sat in a 3ft blanket of snow for nearly a week till the helpful chap above said which fuses to pull lol I wouldn't have had an idea :)

Thawed her out (car not wife) and took her for a spin :D T5's drive quite well in the snow eh? :)

Thanks again lads.
