Car Forum / BMW Cars / September 2006Alarm disabled
Hi, I have a 1993 E36 that had its alarm disabled by the RAC (vehicle recovery company) in May (long story!). After having my car broken into last weekend I decided to re-connect it which, I was told, just involved plugging the relays back in. Having done this, if I set the alarm and then open the door with the key, I can here the relays clicking but the siren does not sound. There are no other wires unplugged so is there anything obvious to check? Thanks, Andy > I have a 1993 E36 that had its alarm disabled by the RAC (vehicle > recovery company) in May (long story!).

What make is it? It is made by Meta Systems. The box housing the relays says M96 on it and the siren unit under the bonnet says M07. > Does it disable the car in this condition? It does disable the car. The biggest threat in these parts is the car stereo ... don't want that knicked again any time soon! > > Does it disable the car in this condition? > > > It does disable the car.

Actually the alarm does work - it just has a period of about 30 seconds after it is armed where the siren will not sound. I just needed a little more patience! > > > Does it disable the car in this condition? > > > > > It does disable the car.

Things like interior lights staying on for a short while after door closing would upset the voltage sensor function.
