Strange alarm issue

[Jim_w]

Since yesterday when I armed the alarm I get the nearside indicators flashing twice as they should but the o/s indicator just stays on - never goes off. If I disarm it the o/s indicators still say illuminated - I can get in and drive it OK but the dash indicator light stays fully illuminated and I get the dash warning buzzer on constantly which I can't cancel using the s/wheel buttons in the usual way. SSCC are going to investigate for me on Monday but I wonder if anyone has come across this?

Cheers

Stuck relay. Try removing relay 32 (third up from the bottom in the middle) Also check fuses #6 & #31 which are for hazards/alarm indicators.

Done the fuses but not the relay - thanks - will give it a try.

Also try unplugging the alarm box (I assume you know where this hides?, PM me if not) Not sure if this has relays in it too.

Fuse 29 remove & re fit may also help.

I've developed a related issue. Car immobilises/alarms and mobilises/disarms fine, but the usual visual indicator flashes have stopped. Indicators are fine under normal driving conditions. Already had the above fuses/relays/controls out, plus fuse #27, but still nada. Any ideas?

Relay and fuses all OK - only removing fuse 6 kills the indicator lights but come back on when it is replaced. I presume the fault is in the alarm unit which I'll investigate tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestions so far.

Karl Baker is the TVR alarm god. www.tvruk.tv give him a call he will fix you up.

Thanks Shep - I have emailed him. I'm now down to the alarm box which I've taken apart. There is a relay inside and I wonder if it is that. Anyway hopefully Karl will be able to shed some light on it.

Karl is indeed the man - problem is with the box and he will sort. Thanks for everyone's help. I'm hoping that when I get this sorted I will be able to run my car for the first time without any issues...........for a short while at least

Had the same happen on mine, playing with the alarm button on the dash and locking and unlocking with the remote fob got it sorted.
