Having used the Chim as a mobile disco whilst working outside when it came to start up there was no juice. Used jump leads to start but appear to have inadvertantly upset the alarm/locking in the process. Found fuse for alarm/hazards (position 6) blown and replaced with new. Hazards now work but car will not arm/disarm or lock/unlock remotely. Locks working fine from inside and can un-immobilise on stalk key. Any ideas ? Is there another fuse in the alarm (std TVR alarm 98/R Chim 500) Inability to lock/alarm is seriously restricting my fun !! (as will the purchase or new alarm if required) Tks in advance, Ratty

There are two fuses on the alam control unit, if you have a Meta alarm unit. It is behind the dash so have fun getting at it. Oh and if your lucky like me you may have blown some of the solder joints on the alarm where the two PCB's meet inside the black box! Easy enough to fix though.

Veg, which part of the dash is the control unit behind? Any advice on how to get at it? Tks, Ratty
