cheers, off to get myself a deadlock rocker switch ring tomorrow

the window will take a decent hit. don't go crazy though.

If the led aint on there aint any point tryiny to trigger the alarm as it aint turned on.

and when you say hit the window, i presume you just mean tap it??

excellent mate cheers, will try this tomorrow. is exactly the same as my problem. needed to strip the door to fix my window as well anyway, so no time lost!

will keep this updated

Check this mate. I had the same problem

You can check your dead-locks are working(they have to for the alarm to work) by locking the drivers door as you described and then try unlocking the passenger door. If you can unlock the car from the passenger side then you have a dead-lock problem on your drivers door lock.

this will test glass sensor by the way

:look: sounds like your alarm isnt workin. try setting the alarm (turnin key 90 degrees) then get a pound coin and hit the drivers window

The way i checked mine was to pop the bonnet but not fully open it, arm the alarm and then open the bonnet..... if the alarm is working properly the horn shuld start beeping.

Are you talking about the standard vauxhall alarm?

nope still not working!

ok will try this. cheers

if u want to check your alarm is arming leave your passenger door open and lock your car at the drivers side. after a few seconds (maybe a minute) your alarm should go off

but this is just what i cannot grasp!
surely there must be some indication that the alarm and immob. are armed?
my mates M-reg corsa sri makes a bleep and the indicators flash

there is no fbo with the car its all on the key. when u lock the car (with deadlocks) the alarm and immobliser is activated.

how do i get one then as nothing came with the car?!

im sure there is a fob to go with this.

the little button next to the interior light it to turn the window shock sensors on and off (if i remember correctly) this is incase u leave any pets in the car the alarm won't go off

ok thanks, but this is still not turning on

only when i press the little button by my interior light??? :boggle:

no only the l.e.d indicates that the alarm and immobiliser has kicked in

and is there no other indication?

ie indicators flashing or a beep?

If u turn the key all the way it will arm the alarm.... u shuld see the red led flash inside once the alarm is armed.

the LED is usually what indicates that the alarm is active?

Usually there is a grace period from when u arm the car and before the alarm is actually active.

For example, if you press the button on ur remote then try opening the door, the alarm wont go off because it hasnt gone out of the grace period. They usually do this if uve left something in the car to save arming it again ect.

If you press the button to arm the car, wait 2 minutes, then try opening the car, the alarm should go off


*EDIT* just realised what u meant about the button on the key, u mean its for the little lock finder light on there yeh?

Ur missing the fob i would have thought
