Help requested re; security alarm

[SjhC]

Thanks very much Keith, but I'm less concerned about the lack of a remote than the alarm not engaging. When I manually lock the doors, no sound, and I can reach inside the car, both with the hood up and the hood down and open the doors. I am unable to trigger the alarm in any way.

Thank you Overdrive, I did read somewhere about the ability to customize alarm settings at the dealer, but I can't even trigger the alarm. The red light on the upper centre of the dash does not blink at all. I presume this means that the alarm is not engaged?

Does anyone here know if removal of the fuse will disengage the alarm? When I had the fuse cover off, it looks to my untrained eye like a fuse is missing in the third row cluster of fuses. I can take a pic and post it if it would help anyone. Again, my concern is that I seem unable to arm the alarm at all.

Thanks for your continued thoughts.

so how far does it go?

- you lock the door and the doors (lids, etc) latch
- the lights flash twice ( indicating the car is locked )
- no horn sound ( the horn doesn't sound when the alarm activates unless something is "open" )

fyi - if you have the top down and lock the car without a red clip, the sensors are deactivated so you will be able to reach into the car, etc. without tripping the alarm.

...

also the manual indicates that if there is a problem with the alarm system, the horn will beep twice...

found the fuse layout for the 99...

in answer to your questions,
- i lock the door and the doors do latch
- the lights do not flash at all
- i had read here about the fyi re; top down and have actually received my red clip in the mail from the internet.

any other thoughts???

Continued thanks to all those reading this thread...
