Car Alarm Problem

thegills · 2005-07-08 09:18:50

I have a '94 BMW, E36. The car alarm won't work at all since I got my battery replaced. It had gone flat beforehand so I was wondering if this has contributed to the problem. Is there a reset button or similar for car alarms?? thegills

Sounds like you need to get the alarm code to re set it.

Did the radio work when you changed the battery.

Depends on the alarm, might have to bring it back to BMW Stealer to get a code.

Yes most aftermarket alarms have a manual override system of shutting them off.
