Alarm broken?

[reubsta]

Hi

Thought it was the battery in my key fob... went for a couple of weeks just using the de-censor when in the car to start her up. Have new battery in key fob but the alarm still is'nt activating!? Anything I need to re-set? How long should the battery last for on the key-fob?

Any help appreciated as she is obviously vunerable without the alarm working.

Cheers and have a great easter break!

after my fob stopped working, i think the dealer managed to reset it just by holding both buttons down.

You're right - there's a section in the Lotus Service Notes about this - the same things happened to mine. To paraphrase;

"If the touch key was used with the ignition on, the transmitter key codes will be wiped and must be reprogrammed. With the alarm disarmed and mobilised, switch on the ignition. Insert the touch key into the receptcle on the steering column shroud. The alarm tell tale wil light steady. Press simultaneously both buttons on the transmitter key for about ten seconds until the tell tale in the key stops flashing and goes out. When the buttons are released the tell tale will light steady. Press either transmitter key - the key tell tale will blink and the instrument pod tell tale will go out for one second. Repeat for all transmitters. Switch off the ignition (alarm tell tale will go out)"

Sorted. I'm away to try mine now...

Cheers
