Dead battery Alarm Crazy.

Hi guys can someone please tell me why my alarm keeps going off after I charged my battery that was dead? Car parked for the winter. Also I cannot disarm the damn thing with my key fob. Key fob batteries are fine. Had to use my key to start the car.

Can you open/close the doors with the FOB?

If not, you might have to reprogram it.
I also had the alarm go off when I put in my new battery after the winter, but a quick button push disarms it.

In case the FOB works, do you have any WLAN/Bluetooth devise lying in your car?
Wireless frequencies are known to cause the 8's alarm to go crazy.

Hi. I have my motion sensor jeep alarm in close range. I cannot use the fob at all. Does the dealer have to reprogram it?

Just use these instructions and you should be fine.
Alarm turns off once you unlock the car with your FOB.

Great thx. I will try this later when I get a chance & will let you know how it worked.

I can now unlock my door. Afraid to lock it because the alarm may go off then I have to use the key & it still doesn't shut off with key in ignition.

I'll get bk to you. Thx.

1 sit in car

2 open driver door

3 put the key in move it
to lock to on
to lock to on
to lock to on

theres a small button in the door jam with a rubber stopper on it press it 3 times

now check that the door buttons still work and lock and unlock the doors.

then press any button on your key fob twice. now be patient cuz it takes like 5 seconds for it to first work.

MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS ALL QUICKLY!!!! 30 secs and under.
