Big Kev 513 Posted December 26, 2012 Went off last night.....probably an English insect from when I picked it up a couple of years ago.Wee question......the red Alarm Light now on constantly on centre console.....I am nearly convinced it FLASHED before......? Could a fellow 4.2 owner check theirs and confirm please?Thanks in advance, and thanks for another great year of help,Big Kev. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shcm 17 Posted December 26, 2012 Kev,I assume you are wating 30 seconds after arming/locking? The led will be steady for 30 seconds before starting to flash on a 4.2, if I remember correctly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Kev 513 Posted December 26, 2012 Mine only stays solid for a second or so.Replies on a postcard, Paul.....? Sorted.....opened with fob, opened driver door, closed door and reset alarm. Solid light for 10seconds and reverted to flashing....thanks all.....solid light may be just a notification for when one returns to car that there as been an alarm "incident".......?

pgp001 9 Posted December 26, 2012 I have an alarm related question on the 4.2 as well.Normally when disarming it flashes the indicators twice, recently mine has being doing FOUR flashes on odd occasions.There is never a valid reason for the alarm to have been triggered as far as I can tell.The handbook does not help either.Phil Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bothwell_buyer 35 Posted December 26, 2012 Sticking plaster over the offending light, or bore it out with a 2mm drill? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 26, 2012 Went off last night.....probably an English insect from when I picked it up a couple of years ago.Big Kev.Huummph, I know of no such English insect that would last that long, has to be a Scottish midge and still biting :)Gus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmb 21 Posted December 26, 2012 Normally when disarming it flashes the indicators twice, recently mine has being doing FOUR flashes on odd occasions.PhilMaybe there is some contact bounce on the button and it thinks you have pressed it twice? Do the motors fire twice have you noticed? Other than that , no idea! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pgp001 9 Posted December 26, 2012 I wondered if that was happening as well.But I have tried to make it do it by deliberately pressing twice but it just works normally. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
