my alarm has quit working. It stopped for a few day then magically started working again and now has stopped working again. I had the battery replaced to no avail.... Any info in the right direction would be great... thank you chaps.....

 

How do you know it's stopped working ? No flashing alarm light on the dash top ?

 

Nothing happens. Where should I start my troubleshooting? I already tried replacing the battery on the key fob.... Thank you for your time sir

 

Hi Jsedita

Please take me through what you expect to happen from the moment you lock using the remote, and I'll put my brain cells to work.

 

I'm sorry . Ok so when I hit the lock button it's supposed to flash the lights and lock the doors and fold the mirrors and vice versa. When I press the button absolutely nothing occurs. Again I'm sorry . Thank you for your time chap....

 

OK, first thoughts.

There are four buttons on the remote, do the others all work, (unlock, boot unlock, illumination on) ?

Try locking with key in the door and then unlock with remote, if this works it might indicate a new remote is needed . Do you have another remote, and if so, is this the same ?

 

So I tried all the buttons on the key fob and they are all unresponsive . Doesn't look like the light on the dash is coming on either. I did notice that it stopped working for a few days and then mysteriously started working for a day or two and then stopped again. Driving me nuts. I finally worked out the suspension demons and now this .... Thanks chap

 

OK another. Does your second key remote work, or have you only one ?

Either the remote has packed up or lost its settings, or the receiver in the car has. It has to be one or the other. Delay in putting a new battery in can cause the remote to lose its settings. I believe there is a means of resetting it somewhere. Only a dealer can really check out your remote.

 

I don't have a second remote only the green valet key and when the guy went to replace the battery he tested my old one and said it was fully charged. Gave him a reading of 3.6 on the meter so it's fully charged

 

nothing chaps?

 

Suggest you get key checked out at a dealer
do the cheap checks first

 

I just noticed that when I lock the door with the key the light in the dash flashes.. What exactly does that signal?

 

I just noticed that when I lock the doors with the key that the light on the dash flashes . What exactly does that mean?

 

Hi, I have the same problem and I was wonderring if you ever got it fixed?
