Hi Guys,
First time poster, long time lurker! ;-)
I have a question - Can the alarm siren module be removed and the car still used? Minus alarm, obviously.
A bit of background:-
My mother has not been using her 2014 Fabia 1.2 for months, so the battery went flat. Upon reconnecing the negative lead, after charging the battery, the alarm sounded and would not be disarmed. Not even with the fob. Strangely, I could start the engine, so the immobiliser is not triggered.
The only way to silence the alarm was to disconnect the car battery again, but the alarm faded quite quickly...
Bit of research points to the battery in the alarm module being goosed, so I will be either changing the unit or attempting to replace the internal battery. As the car is at my mum's place and not mine, I'd rather bring the unit home to pull it apart, so what will happen if I connect the car battery back up without the alarm unit?
Alex.
