quote: Hmmm.. My effort failed so I'll open it back up, have a look and take some pics Basically on this pic it would be in between the connected and the edge on the left side Edit: just phoned the strikalite company, super helpful! even shouted at his wife to turn the hoover off so he could hear me   *edit* lol I just opened mine up again and 2 of the wires I had "soldered" had come undone again. The only thing I can see exposed on that side of mine is a black (i think) electrolytic capacitor  To be honest I didnt remove much sealant |

I'm going to have a gander at mine as well! It's probably best to give the new batteries a good charge before the unit goes back on the car as well. Same with all rechargeable batteries I would have thought ________________________________________ GTi-6 Silver Machine |

If anybody does remove theirs could they have a quick look please, I am prepered to beg if you were to gingerely remove small slithers of the silicone with a very sharp blade should be safe  it is probably about 5mm under the surface of the siliconeEdit: never mind just worked it out, one of the three legs had broken off, so worked out its orientation from that. if anybody else does the same thing (easily done honestly ) I've ordered 4 so will have a few spare, unless my soldering skills are shite________________________________________ once known as want a 6 bad Diablo red like the devil himself!™6 Reasons to take the long way home  |

I mean I have chargers but is it safe to just drop these cells in? It's probably best to give the new batteries a good charge before the unit goes back on the car as well.

Upon inspection i realised there was a screwdriver sized chunk missing from this capacitor aswell, just ordered a new one. If this works when i'm all done i will be f*cking amazed  30666 has attached the following image: ________________________________________ once known as want a 6 badDiablo red like the devil himself!™6 Reasons to take the long way home |

Put the siren back in and it makes funny quiet squwacking noise when you arm the alarm as the indicators flash see what happens tomorrow when the batteries are charged. ________________________________________ once known as want a 6 badDiablo red like the devil himself!™6 Reasons to take the long way home |

Im still trying to work out if my diagram of the battery configuration is right  Its been a long time since I ripped out the leaky pug ones and I forgot how they went in - was that how you wired it back up, mark? |

The alarm and immobiliser are seperate circuits aren't they? It shouldn't affect the car starting. Is the main battery dead?________________________________________ Pics of my 6My 6 on Google Video thanks to coxy306Xsi |

I thought the alarm had a relay where which will stopped the car from starting if the alarm is going off.________________________________________ GaryCherry Red GTi 6 |

Well my mate at work who is good at soldering did mine for me today - he said where I snapped the old battery out I left virtually nothing to solder on to  I assume this is charged by the alternator so I'll put mine back in tonight and go for a long drive before I start messing with the alarm When did your siren go off by the way? Was it when you went to use the car or just randomly? |

Too dark last night but stuck it on this morning, went for a 30 min drive, got home, locked the car and was disappointed to hear no "plip" (I think I read somewhere its supposed to)However when I locked the car with the fob and opened with the key (sure way to set off the alarm) I have a siren as well as lights! I'll just have to see if there is any odd behaviour over the next week but looks like you saved me a load of cash there CTD. My ultrasonics still need to be disarmed every time but that might just need some hair lacquer sprayed on em This should be in the FAQ section I reckon. |

OK I spoke too soon - alarm siren went off on its own, no lights flashing just wailing, couldnt turn it off with fob or alarm button on steering column, disconnected the battery and it went off immediately.It could be that it doesnthave enough charge in it, but to be honest I have had enough of it now |

the car isn't supposed to make any noise when you arm or disarm it mate  they're silent, until they go off that is hehe. ________________________________________ ---James Hamilton james@roodbwoy.com Photo Website quote: Lexus lights do not fit on a GTi6.

alarm is silent when armin/disarming. alarm going off on it's own, no lights or anything is a problem with the siren. it could be down to the batteries dying or it could be something else if the weather and battery acid has had a go at it. This fix just hppened to work for me ________________________________________ Humans have 46 chromosomes, chickens have 78.Be warned, one day they WILL take over! |
