Astro_Al Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Sometimes when I use the key fob to unlock the doors and then open the drivers door to get in there is a beeping jobber (presumably telling me the alarm is about to go off) until I put the key in the ignition. At other times this doesn't happen (there is no warning beep). Explain in 15 words or less. Ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustymark Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hi Al Beep indicates keyfob battery is going flat. CR2032 cell. Get one from Asda. 15 words ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro_Al Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Howdy - top marks! Beeping comes from car though, like the alarm has been activated and I have 'x' amount of time to get the key into the ignition - does that sound like what happens when the keyfob battery is low? (Could well be though - hadn't thought of that, I've been assuming its an electrical gremlin...) Ta, Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkbeef Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Keyfob Battery needs replacing, explosive device under car needs removing, or radio tuned into Sputnik. word count 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 It's the self-destruct mechanism. Or the keyfob battery is low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro_Al Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 It's the self-destruct mechanism. No John - I don't think its anything to do with the head gasket... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
