alarm is not letting the car start
Hi guys,
the following: I dont use remote to access the car (got lost many years ago), so I only use the key. Has worked perfectly until today.
Got to work, all good. Bought myself a (wrong) 433 MHZ Transmitter remote & tried to program it onto the 315 Mhz Alarm. Checked the boot & the rear glass antenna for more information about the Mhz.
Found out that the 433 Mhz was wrong & tried to start the engine. no result. I can lock the car with key - no chirps. Unlock car - 2 chirps. Key in ignition - light go on , Transmission in "P" no reaction at all from starter. Interesting is that the lights inside on roof dont go on.
I havent got a clue...
Can anyone help out?
Thank you
julian

Immobiliser issue
It seems as though your incorrect fob may have set the alarm/immobiliser, but won't undo it. Maybe the right fob will do the trick, possibly a loaner, just to undo the alarm. It can then be reset to the original donor car. Nothing to lose by trying a "hard reset". Just disconnect the Negative lead from the car battery, hold it on the Positive terminal for a few seconds. or alternatively, disconnect both terminals, and leave the battery disconnected for about 15 minutes.
There is also a reset switch down in the drivers ( or passengers?) footwell, not sure which side, depending on RHD/LHD, but it's accessible just by pulling back the carpet, near the kick panel. Have a poke around, nothing to lose. Press the switch when you find it, with the battery connected.
Best of luck.

quick update: found the interia switch - no result as was not "activated". Had it towed to the local Jag-guys, got a phone call they cant read out a problem yet; they think its "electrical" hahaha.... never heard a better comment after having it for 48 hours..... We will see how we get on, getting a spare set of wheels today, a Holden Commodore...... what an insult ;-))...
Will keep you informed...
