hi guys

I have a alarm system and the remote doesn't seem to operate as it should.

thought randomly it works fine.

I assumed it was the battery, but when I replaced it it was still the same.

anyone have a rough idea of what may be the issue or is it simply the fact my remote is stuffed?

If there is anymore information I need to share to assist with someone helping me.

please let me know.

Regards

Sloane

I have the smae problem wuth my remote.

I used to try changing the battery, I now just crack the shits and tap the remote on something...... lol not the best fix, but it makes me feel better :)

If any one knows a way to fix this issue,I would also be greatful for the information.

yeah mate had the exact problem with a customers car at work. pulled it apart and found two dry solder joints. resolder them and it worked like a treat. if you are good with a solder iron then give it a go cos if you take else where they will tell you to replace the remote.

Same god damn problem with me aswell!

Curse the previous owner who had to install a shitty eBay alarm grrr !!

Solder it aye? Hmm.

And what if that doesnt work lol ?

I played around with the 2 dials in the remote..

Didnt do anything for me.

Don't touch it unless you have a back up plan if you stuff it up lol

I notice its been working fine when I point remote to engine direction :ermm:

I remember I've got a Spare Remote but its at a relatives so will have to pick it up.

I lurk on a huge list of forums, lol.

And your dead right, dont try to fix the remote if you dont have a fail-safe plan, that's just asking for trouble, and will put you into a bad situation.

With my previous car, someone installed a cheap ebay POS alarm, and wired it in quite stupidly, so I had the car towed (became unstartable) to an auto electrician and set him to task to remove the mess and set the car back to stock.

He did this, and then I went and got a proper alarm system installed in the car.

hey guys

stupid remote not working again

i tried my spare remote to see if it worked and didn't do anything either....

now I'm getting all sorts of weird beeping and basically have no friggin central locking meaning i need to open door via the key.....

and to start my car now I have to put key in ignition

set the alarm off then press remote to disable immobiliser and alarm (only time it seems to work)

just to start my car!!!! :sleep:

I'm going to ring the installers tomorrow who installed the alarm about the issues I'm having.

I got this installed on 25th January 2008

spent about $2200 at their workshop

Just curious as to whether they should fix this issue under a warranty?

Can some please verify that.

If all goes down the drain I will be seeing Chris Rogers.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
