Car Forum / Alfa Romeo Cars / September 2007156 alarms
I am cursed. Today my alarm on the V6 will not disarm. The doors lock and unlock fine from the key, but the hazzards do not flash and the warning LED on the dash remains on. It sounded for about 15 minutes as I was driving back from Makro :( Suggestions other than a new batter in the plib please? Cos I already tried that :(  SignatureCatman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) 116 Giulietta 3.0l Sprint 1.7 156 TS 145 2.0 Cloverleaf 156 V6 2.5 S2 Triumph Sprint ST 1050: It's blue, see. www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk > I am cursed. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Suggestions other than a new batter in the plib please?

Like you I could open the car with the key but the alarm would go off. It was also immobilised so I was stuck. Do you have a second fob as it was the fob that was faulty in my case?

No. Both fobs lock and unlock the doors fine, the car drives fine. The alarm just won't turn off. It's stopped screaming, but is still flashing it's LED.

Cos I already > tried that :( Not sure from the other post - does the key fob remote work at all? You said it will unlock the car, but I don't know if you meant using the remote, or key-in-the-lock... The remote facility has gone with one of our keys - battery is fine as I swapped between fobs and the second fob disarms just fine. The microswitch dropped off in the past and I opened the key fob and soldered it back on myself, so that isn't the problem. It must be possible for a key fob to lose its coding/programming. Probably expensive to have it fixed/recoded too I expect! We can open the door lock with either key manually and drive the car with either key, but one of the fobs don't do anything remotely. >> I am cursed. >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > it will unlock the car, but I don't know if you meant using the remote, or > key-in-the-lock... It was using the remote. It's actually all fixed. Pulled the battery for a couple of hours until the rechargables in alarm unit actually died. All is fine. Sadly the TS has a similar issue. Thing is I didn't even know it still had a factory fit alarm. I'm hoping that the same trick will work, but the car battery is a bit screwed, and I don't know if the plib ever actually worked as there is a cheapo factory fit alarms as well, which is what I have been using. Anyone know how to remove a 156 alarm? I can stop it from shouting, but I'll need to stop the hazzards from flashing as well.
