z3 alarm - wont switch on

Post by Z3 2.8 London »

just tried locking the car and the alarm is playing up - the indicators flash very rapidly and nothing seems to happen - the doors wont lock - wondered if anyone else had heard about this?

Have you tried?

Two things I'd try.

1. Manually switch the alarm off, using the alarm key. Wait a while (just in case there's a minimum reset time). Go make a cup of tea. Finish cup of tea. Switch back on. Test.

2. If still broke, disconnect earth lead on battery make sure you have code for radio. Again do the cuppa wait. Test.

3. Still got problems? Ask someone else.

Weird, left it all day, just tried it again, and it works - maybe it just didnt like being left out in the cold!!

Thanks for your help Pingu!
