Hello guys,

My car's alarm is bone stock....but I just noticed that it's not arming when I press the lock button on my remote. Usually the led Security light by the steering wheel will light to 30 seconds before blinking periodically, and this was the case before I replaced my alternator.

Now, when I press the door lock button, the light will blink and when I open my door (I locked myself from the inside on purpose) there is no horn sounding etc.

Perhaps I blew a fuse or something......anybody could help me on this? This is really weird.......

 

weird i thought our cars came with a keyless entry, not a security alarm??? Humm have you tried replacing the battery on the remote?

 

Keyless entry...yes, but it also has a stock alarm. IMO, the battery on the remote should not affect it....since it's transmitting the correct signal (open door, door lock, open trunk, etc.).

 

did u wait ~30 seconds after arming the system before manually unlocking?

 

crockpot: Yes, I did. I actually waited inside the car for a minute. You know the led will stay on for 30 seconds right? Mine kept on blinking during this period.

 

hmm, have you checked your fuses? there are some under the hood IIRC

 

You mean fuse for the alarm?
