Alarm 'Glitch'

(1/2) > >>

Bush Tucker Man:
On going to my Discovery earlier this afternoon to come home from work, I noticed an unusual phenomenon.
The alarm didn't give its usual single flash to indicate dis-arming.
On trying it, the indicators all work normally and flash 3times on arming.

Presumably it's an alarm control unit glitch, does anyone know anything differant.
Can it be re-set on 'Textbook'?

(Standard factory alarm)

datalas:
Father recently had a similar problem...

the relay for the Alarm is *not* the same one as for the indicators...

Try checking accordingly

Bush Tucker Man:
I'll have a check, but to flash correctly on 'arming' & not on 'dis-arming'??
It seems a bit weird.

Thanks anyway.

muddyweb:
Is the battery OK in your KeyFob ?

ISTR that the vehicle has some way of telling you when the battery is getting low...   Used to on my Td5 I'm sure.

Andy.:
On my key fob when the batteries need changing the little red light blinks twice when I press the fob, as to normally only once.

Might be worth actually activating the alarm then re-setting, then seeing if this cures the glitch  :?
