Hi All, yes I searched a lot - seems like lots of people have had fun with the alarms/entry modules on these cars!
I have some gremlins that I can't figure out through the service manual / body diag books, and thought I would ask here before taking it in to the dealer to plug in.
My fob died, but that's secondary to this issue and I have another on order. I've tried re-syncing it, and reprogramming it (grounding green wire etc etc) and its definately dead.
the alarm/fob/vtss was working fine. after my fob died I can't set the alarm through the manual process of flicking the door lock and closing the door. All I get are two quick chirps, no flashing red light. I've looked at the hatch and hood sensors, they seem to be ok at a glance. After I lock it (and get the chirps) If I open the (locked) door through the window, the hatch or the hood nothing happens. The car starts and runs perfectly, the alarm is definately not working.
It has a new battery, and is on a battery tender and doesn't really have any drain to it (the tender light is green most all the time).
can anyone tell me what the two chirps mean? The alarm light works (flashes quickly when in fob programming mode, etc), and while i suspect i need to get it plugged into a DRB at the dealer I'm hoping someone here might have a fix, is my EEM stuffed?
