I have a 2002 Discovery 2 with alarm system issues.
My issues were caused by the alarm activating for no apparent reason this morning at about 7am, I silenced the alarm using the key fob but now it will not operate the central locking and open the doors. It appears to still be arming and disarming the alarm (indicated by the red alarm indicator light flashing or extinquishing on the dash). The battery in the car is fully charged and in good order as is the battery in the key fob.
I can access the car via the drivers door using the key and start the engine so obviously the immobiliser is being deactivated by the key fob, but I cannot open any of the passenger doors or the rear door. The indicators, hazard warning lights and electric windows are also not working
---- All features of the "superlock" mode ---
When i lock the door using the key i get a single beep from the horn and the red alarm indicator light on the dash flashes confirming alarm is set but the indicators no longer flash when the alarm sets.
Anyone have any bright ideas as to what caused the alarm to activate and how I can deactivate the superlock. I have checked all the fuses and all seem to be ok, the car does not have a sunroof so water on the alarm ecu is unlikely.... but i cant confirm because i understand it is behind the glove box on the passenger side and i cant get to it because i cant open the nearside front door ??? I have disconnected the battery and left for ten minutes but that gave me even more problems because it activated the immobiliser (which I have now resolved)
Any suggestions would be appreciated or am i destined for a trip to a main dealer ????
