TD5 alarm

[Nick T]

Wiered, normally when alarm activted the indicators blink once and interior light dimms quickly, not tonight???? Light dimmed but no flashing indicators?

Is sumfink wrong????


Thanks, Nick.

PS since I fit a new air flow meter, the motor is bloody marvelous...Really changed my mind about the TD5

Battery dying in your key fob, just happened to me. Both my fobs were tatty so I replaced the casings at same time with kits off fleabay.

Thanks,I'll try that. But if the alarm has recieved a signal from the fob and is activated, how does it reccognize a flat battery?

 

[101Sean]

Dunno, but it's what owners manual says and was true in my case.

It's probably not so much a case of it "recognising" a flat battery; I expect the fob can detect the voltage of the battery inside it, and sends the voltage to the car along with all the authentication stuff when you unlock/lock. If the car receives a voltage amount that is less than X then it doesn't flash the lights.

Well, you are right, it works again

Thanks chaps!
