SVX Alarm

Hey guys, i was wondering if anyone could help me out with a problem i have just encountered.

While my SVX was in storage the battery died and now my alarm does not work with my transmitter. I tested the batteries on my transmitter and it says it has life but i cannot lock or unlock the car with it. I was wondering if there was any way to fix this dilemma i am having. Thanks

Is the light a constant "ON" ?

Yeah, open the door using your keys and open the hood. Charge your battery. The alarm module WILL drain your battery. unless you have a 94+ model, you will have trouble...

is there any way i can put a remote entry in my svx without going aftermarket??? I have the strip down 2wd and does not have the security box, is there anyway for me to do this??

I just did this last week for the remote I bought. If your battery died, your alarm sys has probly forgotten the frequency for the keychain. Below are instructions on reprogramming:

1) Enter the car and turn the ignition to "ON" ( not necessary to start)

2) Turn key to "OFF" and press the "Securtiy" button repeatedly untill the horn beeps quickly a few times then stop pressing.

3) Slowly press the keyless entry remote button 4 times.

4) Turn the key to "ON" then "OFF" again.

5) Remove key from ignition and press the Keychain button, your doors should lock.

I hope this helps

I did that but i could not get the horn to beep. I hit the SECURITY button rapidly and then at a slower pace and nothing happened. That is where i am now.

Hmmm not sure then. Try pressing it faster for longer? I remember pressing mine on and off for at least 6 seconds very rapidly.

Good luck

You didn't answer my question about whether the security light is a constant ON or not. If so, you probably have the same problem I do which is detailed here.

The light is acting normal. It has the slow blinking.

Ok oh well, was worth a shot...

When you did the reprogramming routine, did you make sure the switch was turned OFF before turning the key on?

Yeah, thanks for your help though...i'm going to read through your post though. Thanks for your help
