Car Forum / MINI / June 2005Alarm on Rover sportspack 1998 - make hazards flash
My car has the standard rover alarm (fitted on rover 200s/400s etc and late minis) i was wanting to wire the hazards to flash once/twice for alarm set/un set. is there any way of doing this easily. The alarm does already flash indicators when it is set off, so surely this isnt such a big job. anyone any ideas or info? cheers Ryan Shaw > My car has the standard rover alarm (fitted on rover 200s/400s etc and > late minis) i was wanting to wire the hazards to flash once/twice for [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > cheers > Ryan Shaw has no-one got an answer - have i dum-founded the whole group? Ryan, Maybe I've missed the point in your post but my mini has a standard rover alarm and the indicators/hazards flash 3 times when it sets and once when it disarms. Both of the Rover minis I've had did the same thing so I always assumed it was a standard set up. Are you saying that yours doesn't flash at all or that you want to change the number of times it flashes?

Thats interesting, mine doesnt flash at all and wanted to know if it was possible to do as you say. is yours a very late rover mini, ie like 2000/2002 as mine is only a 1998 and wondering if rover slightly changed the wiring cheers Ryan > Maybe I've missed the point in your post but my mini has a standard rover > alarm and the indicators/hazards flash 3 times when it sets and once when [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >> >> has no-one got an answer - have i dum-founded the whole group? Ryan, My current car is a 1999 Cooper S, previous one was a 1994 Cooper, both with standard electrics. I'm pretty sure that the indicators should flash when the alarm is set / disabled. Strange enough, I can't find any reference to it in the owners handbook though. I doubt you'll be able to find a Rover dealer kicking about who is likely to be much help with getting info on something like this. Your best bet would be to a decent Mini specialist. There are a few about in the North but personally I use Minimaster in Penrith. They have helped me out with quite a lot of work and are a very friendly bunch. No, I'm not on commission, but was very greatful when a previously 'unfixable' engine management fault (so the dealer thought) was resolved in a couple of hours with some good old fashioned mechanic diagnosis...... I'm sod all use with electrics once it gets past the 'check the battery, check the earth, check the fuse stage'.......

I have never owned one as late as yours so cant give you any advice, but the newer the mini the more complex they get!
