longsh07 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Hi Phil, Do you have spare key? If so, try that and make sure its working. If not then have you looked at the workshop manual at all? There is a procedure for registering keys in there without CONSULT-II. I've attached the page just in case. Its from the 2005 version but I cant see it being vastly different. If this doesn't work then it might be worth trying to get the workshop manual for your car and looking at the 'bl - BODY, LOCK & SECURITY SYSTEM' section. bl - BODY, LOCK & SECURITY SYSTEM.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snoged Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 just a bit of an update followed the key fob instructions, lamps flashed just as stated but when all done still no remote unlocking or un-imobilised and alarm stills goes off.(tried this many times) (does this mean that the transponder is working but the remote is faulty ?) is it time to get someone out to solve the problem ?

ZEUS Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I had a similar problem when I changed the battery. I'd put the battery in the wrong way round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choptop Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) Ok. If the battery in the key fob has gone flat/ removed from it for more than a few minutes you have to reprogramme the handsets to the car. Use the search button on the forum and there is bags of advice on how to do this. Edited October 30, 2016 by choptop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry40 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 When I purchased my 2004 Zed just over 12 months ago only 1 key fob worked out of the two that came with the car, I didn't know how long the battery had been flat for and removed it prior to ordering 2 replacement batteries. Reading other threads pertaining to changing batteries and having to replace them within a certain time I'd resigned myself to the fact I would have to re-programme both remotes and read the procedure over and over again in preparation. Much to my delight after changing the dead remote battery it worked straight away, maybe I was just lucky but the battery had been dead for some time I guess and completely removed for a couple of days. I also changed the other battery remote as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible but id double check the battery in the remote just in case. Is your car UK spec or import? When I had my car remapped at Abbey Motorsport, Mark mentioned it's common for import immobilisers to fail. Mine is a UK car but I had problems with my alarm not triggering and Nissan was not able to fix it so ended up having the factory immobiliser disabled as part of the UpRev then replaced it with an after market Cat1 alarm/immobiliser. The only other thing I can think of is going over every fuse related to the door locks, immobiliser and alarm. I saw this somewhere in the service manual. If you still have no joy then it would be worth speaking to an alarm specialist to see if they can offer any assistance.

longsh07 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Check the bonnet, boot and doors are all closed properly and that the sensors are registering the doors are properly shut. Look at the interior light if set to trigger on the doors and the light in the boot (if you can see it). I don't know for sure but I don't think it even tries to lock if the doors are open. Could be wrong though as I've not used my normal remote for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
