More Battery - immobiliser woes

[james s]

Got a new battery for my 993 yesteday - Banner one with a four year guarentee, so we'll see how that one fairs.

There seems to be a problem with he alarm / immobiliser (PA1000)

Put it in, connected up and all that happens in the hazzard lights keep on flashing. No alarm or noise, just the lights flashing and an irregular clicking noise from the engine bay. The fob won't open / close the doors (though the LED is working). Opening / closing the door with the key is possibe and stops the lights flashing, but nothing else. The ignition lighs up but the car won't crank at all. All the lights are bright so the battery is working.

I have tried disconecting and connecting again, but just the same

Any thoughts - thanks

Hhhmmm

I can't seem to trick it back into life. Anyone know a good auto-electricin in the Marlow / Wycombe area or is it a case of getting the whole alarm re-programmed (plus car recovery)

Impossible to diagnose in a forum I know, but any ideas welsome before I start shelling out for that

Northway?

you should have a little black key that fits in a key slot on the side of the siren, this should reset the unit. Good luck.

Hi James S (Seed)

I have exactly the same
problem with pa1000
immobiliser on my
993.

How did you resolve it?

Any help most welcome

The Alarm system can 'forget' the keys that are programmed on - H&P can be contacted directly to reprogramme the system but the board and keys need to be removed and sent away: [phone]

I have had some success with resync'ing the handsets in the past by disconnecting the vehicle battery, removing the 3 and 5 Amp fuses for the alarm, reconnecting the battery and holding the unlock button on the handset while reinserting the system fuses - definitely worth a try before removing your seats..........

System fuses should be either under the dash or in the vehicle fuse box (depending on who fitted the system and will be three aftermarket looking fuses in a block: 1x 3A, 1x 5A and 1x 20A - the 20A one is for the hazards / indicators, some models had 2x 3A and 1x 20A like the later PA2000).

If you are removing the board you'll need a 'security screw-driver' an external spline type screwdriver to disassemble the box.

NB: NEVER DISCONNECT / RECONNECT THE BOARD WITH THE VEHICLE BATTERY CONNECTED - THE BOARD WILL BE DAMAGED

Hi Peter.

As above. Its best to call Hamilton and Palmer. PM me if I can.

If you still have the red remote handset you'llpossibly be able to redo it yourself

Best of luck

James
