Default can't stop alarm

Tried to start the S this morning for the first time in 10 days but alarm went off as soon as I opened the door. No matter which button was pressed on key fob it was impossible to switch off. The alarm sounded for 2 minutes at a time with a break of about 2 seconds

Your battery is dead, just use jumpleads to start it and it will be ok

Get yourself one of these to go with your new battery, and never worry about it going flat. It will last longer too

Demon Tweeks sell them.

And Porker ones too!

I had to buy one of those CTEK XS 3600s after the tracker and alarm kept draining the 911 battery. Does the job nicely
