So your car alarm is currently going berserk and won't stop going off? Or has it stopped now?

well.........is a big deep hole...with a movable bluey green moving solid in it
, it was on a Sunday....at half past chinease dentist...tooth-hurty...that.......the roblem was solvdecated.......
it involved three tubes of toothpaste and one apricot if i rember..
But......i cant be sure too be sure ....be-gora
I knew of these arlarms once..in a Galaxy far far far away.......after i tuned left at Alberqurkey......

Thing is.......battery of the auto-mobile.......then the alarmo unit.....which is situated in the cabin of the car..interiour.......many forms of this alarmo....(and many diffrent manufactured alarms )....the siren is in the hot engine bay usalyy ....unless the driver likes too become deaf and have it fitted inside the car .......

theres a main fuse...from the main power source that goes into the alarmo....and a 2nd ..igntion fed power source wire from the igntioarno.
These alarmos ..have a shruded black...wire with a round black plug end...with a internal oblong femaile socket....(this is for the alarm overide oblong key that comes with the alarm..from new!!!....if your a unlucky soul..with previous owners who are desne...and have lost it...then you cant use that oblong key too deactivate the alarmo).

Anyways ...moving on......fasten harnesses..and lactch hatchs...were stepping up a gear.....

Now...depending on the GT model.........will depend on how it has been wired into your car loom....

But basic functions of the alarm are.....

Example...just drove up too ya hoes..........with pizza and beer.......

Turn the engine off , parked up,.....so engine is off.....you open the car door.....THIS ....AUTO TURNS ON THE IGNTION...IMMOBLISATION.......Either...ECU(EMU engine igntion/fuel control..unit.....the box of tricks that makes petrol and diesel modern day engines work the brains of the cars fueling and igntion timing...from 1993 onwards...majority of cars using OBD1 and after 1994 OBD2 ...electrical engine manigerment system too control fueling and igntions....earlier cars...before 1993...mainly had...ECu/ECM ..units with hard micro chips....you could replace with upgraded micro chips. (modern cars from about...1994 onwards...depending on the manufacturers design...rember all manufactuers have proceeded with modern engine controls at diffrent rates.......

Anyways......parked up
engine off...
opened car drivers door too get out......the interiour lifght ..comes on sending a pulse too the alarm unit which activates the ...fuel pump/ ecu/ecm, igntion switch...immoblisation....depending on model of the alarm...each or all of those can be fitted...

if you sit in the car after engine off ...with out opening the door....the ..car can still be started....ITS ONLY WHEN THE DRIVERS DOOR WITH IGNTION KEY REMOVED DOES THE IMMOBLISATION OF THE ENGINE OPERATE.

Now, ...if the car door is opened....as previously said.....with igntion and engine off...key removed from igntion. With door opened ..if you put the key back in......you will notice...that the ..igntion......Alternator...charge/warning light ...wont come on, light up!!!!!!

But if you quickly lightly press the alarmo keyfob...big button once.....the alarm wont come on..but the igntion Battery icon..alt charge warning charge light wll come back on. If you have a OBD 1/2....engine icon......fault light ..also.....with imoblisation that wont be on either....

yes ...thats right folks....you dont need....too put the alarm on then off.....with repeaters, indicators ....lights flshing on and then press again too turn them off.....too get the engine too start.

The smaller button on the alrm....is the anti car jack / panic...button..pressing it....makes the lights flash and the siren, or the car horn....sound..........say like someone tried too open your door...whilst ya at a stop sign or ..at traffic lights.....or your in a parked area and not good people are near by and your scared....and want too draw attention from people who may help....

if you press the bigger button on the keyfob slightly longer...the alarm will arm..or dissarm........it will go through that procedure.....

there is a trick....witht he keyfob.......just takr your time too get usto it :wink:

Another ....item......i will mention......with GT alarms.....say you out side car..just got out of it.....closed the doors.........you press the ....keyfob too lock the doors and it puts the alarm on ( the key fobs combine both rember!!!...) only using the car ooriginal door lock key/s...with just lock the car.....with out activating putting the arlarm on..!!!!!

You have just ....locked and alarmed the car with the key fob....1 press of the large keyfob button.....repeaters/indicator lights flash once ...also..one slight low chirp...headlights can flash also..depending on the arlm model and how it has been wiredf into the cars loom.

If you quickly 2nd time ..lightly press the large keyfob..lock/unlock button...the alarm will chirp low again..but no repeaters/indys wil light.....this function.....disables the ....ultra sonic interiour grid sensors...........but will leave the glass break...sensor still operating..(this is if you have kids or dog pets in the car..so there movement wont....activate the alarm....

press the lock/unlock large keyfob button again........siren low chirps...and repeaters/indicators ..flash 2 times...this means alarm has been decativated.........now the imobilisers...will stay disarmed for ..ten seconds..!!!..........after ten with door been opened the imoblisers for the engine sytem will re energise activate again .

so if you sat in your car cloed door..and mum or partner calls....or you sit there looking at a shop reciet because your sure that girl with big tittys over charged you ...at the deli counter.....rember ......youl need too disar the imoblisers......again...if you didnt put the igntion key in and turn igntion on with in ten seconds.....

Things that will set your alarm off..:
1.....Any doors, boot or bonnet being opened...
2....Any doors or main windows glasses being broken ..too gain access.
3....If you make toast on Tuesdays ...
4....If you de alarm the car open a door.....not put ignion key in and turn the igntion on....after ten secs.....imoblisers armed.....if you try and start the car the alarm will sound.....
5....If somebody removes the main car battery....the alarm will still activate sound..!!!!!!!
6....Anything moves inside the car....i.e person...or a wire being stuck through tthe door window gaps...
Ways too disable the alarms......
7....mercury switch...sets alarm off...due too car being ...tilted more then 15 degrees....i.e theifs trying too jack too steal wheels..or ..theif with tow truck try too jack and then tow car away after cutting the handbrake cables...
1...remove the main alarm power supply source fuse...(located in engine bay)
2...remove the 2nd alarm fuse..in the car intriour.....located neart he alarm..(there are three fuses there rember...1 is 2nd alarm fuse power supply....2nd is headlghts, 3rd fuse is the indicators repeaters fuse..rember the alarm sends a electrical pulse...via two wires ...too down line from the emergency hazard switch on the dash lights..!..so if you get a problem with this ...you can just remove the fuse.....and the larm will still work......you just wont be able too get a visual indication.....with your repeaters hindicators working.

3...use the alarm...disarm key....slot it into the oblong socket port....like a modern usb port....this socket will be locatedf ..in the area surrounding the alarm unit..its on a its on...wire...it can be mounted somewhere on the dash....or footwell...or just tucked up under the dash or ..central gear shift radio ..handbrake...covers....just have a look about in the passenger front foot well area.......the installer would have hidden it or located it there......somewhere.......

4...if you remove the main engine bay alarm fuse....the alarm internal battery will...still operate the siren....or the car horn....so...rember too disconect the siren...or cut its wires.....and remove the horn wire...or cut the horn wire....alot of extra effort work....is what it is though...

Remember....if you use the ........disarming...override oblong key......you may need too .....re syncronise..the key fob/s.....too the alarm...rember this alarm ..system..uses rolling ....singnal codes.....like dominoes...random changine each time the alarm is activated de activaveted by the key fob/s.....

If you loose a keyfob also......remember .....through a procedure...you can......re programme your remaining key fob...too a new singal code....(so in other words...once done the lost key fob...wont be able too activate ..your alarm on or off....as millions of signal codes ....of random...patterns ...work each time the keyfob arms or disarms)......
Basic....

Engine system auto imoblisation...fuel pump, ecu, ingtion start circuit......with door opened drivers or pasengers....engone cant be sarted...
only way too overide...one light press of large..lock unlock keyfob button...or.....but need too...have alarm deactivated by key fob...so dont help if you lost key fob/s...remove alarm power source fuses engine bay and interior near the alarm unit....under dash passengers side or under foot well carpet...or under passengers or divers seat....

one press of lock/unlock large button on the keyfob......(GT alarm keyfob)..not the cars OEM manufacturers original key fob....

repeaters/indicators... flash once...and quiet chirp ..system armed and doors locked...if modern car with electrical central locking.

repeaters/indicators... FLASH twice ..and quiet chirp...doorlocks unlock..if modern car central locking , alarm decactivated...engine can be started with in ten seconds or started if igntion key inserted and switched too engine run postion (not start postion!.)

Press key fob little button...arlarm siren or horn or both sound repeaters flash as do headlights ....panic mode....will last for ...30 seconds the will go silent..off...then come back onagain..after 3 seconds.....and will repeat....only way too stop this panic mode is ..with the ...alarm keyfob......even if you remove the main alarm fuses........the internal battery will keep the siren or car horn ...sounding..:frown:.....
Can be a pain...in the neck/arse....ears.......if you get a fault with the panic system in the alarm....please note...with age.....the internal battery/s....wear out....remer like all...rechargeable batterys.............they have limited life span..of a few years...5/7...repeated charge and decharge cycling.......so if the cars ...over 7 years old....they this ...still arming sounding if battery cables removed function may not be oprable.....unless maintenace has been done and new ..NI-Cadd...replacement rechargeable batterys have been re fitted.inside the actual alarm unit.....

Deactivate alarm via the oblong like socket near the aram unit area..inside the car interiour.......using the oblong de activation key....but rember your key fob/s may need re calibrating syncronising too the arlm unit again......by a set procedure.....of pressing the alarm key fob buttons in a certain order.

As soon as ou open the door ..the imobilser/s come on..!!!!!......and ..when closing the car door....the central door lock will lock also...with in 30 seconds/ if you have the ..auto glass shut modules fitted depending on the model of alrm and if that module was bought and fitted at the time or later.....the ...door glasses will auto shut also..!!!!!....so please dont leave your car keys in the igntion or the car....!!!!!!!!!!....example....engine off...get out too go back in house quick or shed too get some thing..by time you come back the car would have auto door locked and window glass shut .

Leaving you locked out of the car.........the auto door glass is fitted extra......so will mainly be on .more elabrate .....expesive cars.
Not saying it wont be fitted on general everyday run around cars...but.....you get the idea...what i am trying too convey.....peope who are more affulent ( rich) have these extra box of tricks ..(tilt and glass brak and auto door glass close boxes/modules sensors, with there cars and alarms.

Tilt , glass braking and infared grid movement interiour sensors, all activate and de activate with the key fob/s .....
Engine system deactivation ..imobilsers...activate with door opened....alarm not being put on by owner with key fob action activated

Auto door lock and door glass closing...after 30 seconds....

Alarm...sounds..siren or car hprn..or both.......with ..main car battery removed...!!!!
And rember eat cheeze on toost on Thursdays ....
alll car alarms are vertually the same...some just have more addtinal features then others like..auto doorslocks ...tilt sensors infared interiour grid ultrasonics....
...no big deal.....really....

if you get stuck....look on the actual alarm in the interiour of the car ..black...oblong box....12 inchs by 4 inchs by ...2/3 inchs thickness...on it it shuld have a manufacturers ...detailed ...description of the alarm....it self its model..........you can then search ...the info about it.......or contact GT in italy ..for info or diagrams. schematics for its instalation wiring ....:wink:
oh i forgot too mention...Dohhhhh..
on the drivers side...postion...on the dahs will be fitted a little....red LED ...alarm indicator light.......its eiether on or off...depending the state the alarmo is in.......mind you by this time where all in a bad state lol

That little old LED flshes ..too tell us...the alarm is active..operating....functioning.........
with key out igntion..you open door, you get out.....engine systems imoblisation activates......that dash Red LED will start too flash too say...hey driver .i have activated engine ...imoblisation.....if after 30 seconds ..no alarm has been ut on..activated with your car alarm key fob....it will self activate and this Dash LED will start too flash.......rember flash means alarm is working ..activated!

This dash Red LED, also tells us...if any sensor has been activated..on our alarm.........say ..someone tried too start the car.......apon unlocking and deactivating the alarm........you will get the two flashes....on the indicators/repeaters and the Red dash LED indicator light...then adddtinal flashes from this dahs Red alarm indicator light..the number of addtinal flashes will tell you ..which sensor has been activated......i.e door, engine, bonnet, boot, tilt anti jack, glass braking, ..interiour infa red ultrasonic sensor..

So when you open the car door ..igntion off keys in or out the igntion...the auto engine imoblisation activates...the Dash LED will start flashing......on and off...slowly .....its not a fast flashing cycle.
