Wierd happenings with my alarm on my elise
Discussion
just heard the alarm going off on the elise... not that factory fitted alarm, but another one its got fitted.
Neither of the alarm fobs would turn the alarm off.
As well as the alarm going off there was a horrible sounding ticking noise from the front of the car.
when i turned the ignition there was a weird ticking from the engine bay too. The car would not start/turn over either.
I was wondering whether the battery had run flat, but the car has been on trickle charge so it shouldnt have.
I could turn the alarm off whatever I did.. So i disconnect the battery, and the weird thing is the alarm carried on for about 10 minutes even though the battery was disconnected!!
it eventually stopped and ive put the battery on charge, unconnected to the car..
any ideas whats just happened?
Im wondering if the alarm does this when the battery is flat, but like I said, the car has been on trickle charge so It shouldnt be flat??
