Hey guys, when i bought the car it had an aftermarket alarm system in it, Dont know what brand or anything, the only thing it said on the original Remote which allowed me to Remote Start the car had a logo called " MANNIX ".

Now that funky looking remote, ive lost it. And just left with this second remote, rather plain looking, but it worked fine for a week after i lost the original one.

Now suddenly it doesnt even want to lock my car or open it anymore?

I thought the battery was dead, but changed that aswell. Still no luck, sometimes it might arm it, dis arm it.. same cycle 4 times. Then stop working again.

I have no idea whats wrong with it, and hate to leave my car un alarmed. My immoboliser still works though, it comes on automatically after 1 minute. And that has a seperate plastic key thing to disarm the immoboliser.

Now, i dont know what to do.

Can anyone help. :D

when you open the remotes case, is there a little pot you can turn? if so, try turning it a little bit in one directions to see if it starts working, if not try it in the other direction. the frequency might be off just a tad.

Im gonna go home tonight, goto late night, then come back and take a pic of the inside of the remote. It doesnt look like there was a dial or anything i could turn inside of it. But under my steering column, i have a box. It has 2 dials on it. and 2 lights.

I'll take a pic of it aswell maybe that will help?

Coz i accidentally turned one of the dials.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
