Default Changed the battery - alarm not arming

Hi all

The battery went completely flat, so I changed it and thought all would be good.

However, I noticed that the signal lights weren't flashing anymore when locking / unlcoking the car from the key fob.
So, is the alarm arming, but the lights not flashing? Or is the alarm not arming at all?
It's an MY2008. Anyone know what's going on here? Is there a way to reset this?

Also, the auto window wasn't working - but I managed to reset this - window down, then window up and hold the switch for 4 seconds.

thanks all

Easiest way to test would be to arm the alarm as normal then open the door with the key only. Alarm will activate if its working.

Or do what I've done accidently a few times, alarm the car with someone sat in it. The alarm then goes off(if it's working) when said person moves around, and they feel an idiot until you come out of the shop and disarm it.
