defari Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 (edited) Hey, this is probably a long shot but maybe someone can shed some light on this problem im having. I noticed that the range on my keyless entry has been getting worse and worse, almost to the point where I had to be about 1m from the car. I thought it just might be the batteries that were dieing. A few days ago it completely stopped working, so I opened the car with the keys, started and ran normal for a few days until i stopped for fuel today. Now when I try start the car (when i turn it from accessories to start) it beeps/clicks twice (the sound it makes when the car is being locked WTF?) and now the car wont start. It seems as though the immobilser might not be turning itself off when I try start the car. So i went and bought new batteries for the keyless entry and it still doesnt work. Anyone able to give me any idea whats wrong with it? p.s When i replaced the batteries I noticed there was sticky green stuff around the circuits. Not sure if this helps but the red LED light still works so unsure if that may be the problem.. cheers. Looks exactly like this Edited April 3, 2010 by defari Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/315048-keyless-entry-immobilser-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
QWK32 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 you might find that because the batteries have gone flat in you remotes that they have lost their settings. i had to change the batteries in my remotes (mongoose alarm) and had to do a "Remote Learn" to reprogram them to work.

QWK32 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 have a look on this web page, Rhino GTS page on the "Links/Downloads" tab click on the User Manual (PDF). second page show how to learn your remotes. i guess try that and see if it sorts it out Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/315048-keyless-entry-immobilser-problem/#findComment-5164579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
defari Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 have tried that but no luck unfortunately, found them pretty cheap on ebay anyway. Might just remove this one and get the replacement put in.

defari Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 (edited) cheers for the offer but unfortunately the car is stuck in at work.. Would there be any quick way of disconnecting the alarm completely (allowing me to drive it home) ? edit: only if you have the time, more than happy to pay for you to come take a look... the car will be there for the next few days.
