Hi guys.
Firstly let me apologise as I understand this may have been covered... However due to it being a specific situation I thought it may be best to post a new thread.
When I bought my ph2 6 the alarm randomly started going off when the car was turned off, it wouldn't start due to a poor connection. This turned out to be copper grease covering the positive terminal (it doesn't conduct electricity and was breaking the connection) so I cleaned it out and the alarm has never gone off since.
Secondly the central locking has never worked, neither has the driver's speaker, passenger's window or mirrors etc, which I knew was down to the door loom being broken.
So today I replaced the door loom. I spent a good few hours doing it with a multimeter to make sure it's all correct, all the pins were there and all used, I soldered them all correctly and heatshrinked so it's tidy.
I took the battery off before starting to ensure I didn't damage anything. When I was done I put it back on, closed all the doors and tried the locking. Still no central locking. The remote locking doesn't work as the batteries are dead (I presume, so bought some from ebay earlier), but it doesn't work from the key in the lock either. I then opened the door, no problems, put the key in the ignition and turned to 1st position, alarm started going off... Took the key out and locked the door, still went off, started the car, still continued going off.
At this point my neighbors were looking through their curtains so I popped the bonnet and disconnected the battery and waited for the alarm to shut the F up and die lol.
My questions are, whats the deal with the alarm!? Is it having a hissy because I removed the battery? How do I "reset" it?
Secondly what could be wrong with the central locking?
I had a quick look at fuses but it was cold and I was a little fed up.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers.
Adam.
