Alarm LED

[Ian]

Just a quick question, what does it mean when the alarm LED Stays on after you have opened the car and got in?
I unlocked the car using the remote (standard Fiat Alarm) and when i got in the led staye don constant then when I started the engine it went out. Any Ideas?
I am using the spare key as the one i normally use the battery died today so i need to get a new one

it usually means the battery in the fob is going flat.
or, the contacts may be dirty.

Sorry Craig, are you on about the LED on the Key? I am on about the LED on the dash. I only noticed it now I have changed keys as the other one went flat and it was not doing it with that key

i mean the light on the dash.

check the contacts are clean in both keys. blue tack is ideal for removing greasy finger prints etc.

Sorry thought you were on about the light on the key. So do you mean the contacts for the battery? Will take em apart and give a spring clean

yep, for the battery.

Cheers for the help.

I cleaned the inside of the key and cleaned the contact and it is still doing so not much luck there.

On another note, I put new batteries in my other key today as I though they were flat as it was not working the alarm/central locking, and with the new batteries in still does not work. Does anyone have any ideas or will I need a new key?

If you have the red key you can reprogram it...

Reprogram the key that does not work daz?

I have the red key, how do you go about programing keys with the red key? I have not got a manual.
