Hazards flash, fob useless. - 19/01/2020 00:47
I've occasionally had the alarm not disable when I get in my car, hazard lights flashing as I drive up the road. Pressing the fob has disabled the alarm and stopped the hazards flashing. Last Thursday morning I was about to head to work, the fob wouldn't work, I had to use the key to unlock the door. As soon as I opened the door the hazard lights started flashing, they go for a while, stop, then start again. I started the car, the fob still did nothing, I couldn't stop the hazard lights flashing, so I turned the engine off, locked the doors with the key and went back to bed. I later checked the fob batteries, I replaced them about 2 months ago, both were still showing 3.1v, so I started reading alarm threads. After a bit of homework I got under the dash and disconnected the blue connector above the fuse box, everything is now fine, but I have no remote central locking, I don't care about the alarm function. Abacus alarms do a reprogram option for 125 quid, with freight to and from Oz that's a fair hit to reprogram a 20 year old electronics box. They do an upgrade option, 175 quid plus 14 quid freight to Oz, so I can reinstate my remote central locking for $360.

As I said, I don't care about the alarm function, so is there a cheaper, easier way of reinstating the remote locking option, or should I just bite the bullet and upgrade the alarm box?
