jonnywells Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 My missus brought a 04 streetka the other day and i was just cleaning it and messing about and i though "i wonder how the alarm goes off in these things" as i know ones fitted as standard. Anyway i lock the car with me in it and start moving about, nothing. I did this for 5 odd mins. Out comes the manual, it states when the car is locked via the remote and you try and open the car with the key alone it should sound the alarm, again nothing. Is there somewhere the alarm could have been disabled? Im trying to find where the alarm fuse is but even though the manual says under the instrument panel i cant see fuse 32 anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintalkin Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 in most fords the main alarm fuse is on the back of the fuse panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnywells Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 And how do i get to that? I can see the front fuses..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintalkin Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 there should be some screws or clips which will release the panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnywells Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Ok i have checked the fuse and thats fine. Also had a look in the boot at the alarm module, cant see any obvious problems with it. Its got a set of batteries in it but i cant Imagen them being flat would make the alarm not work? Any more ideas why i cant get it working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its got a set of batteries in it but i cant Imagen them being flat would make the alarm not work? Any more ideas why i cant get it working? I've had issues with the alarm on and off. It would either not go at all or sound at odd times. My brother who is an electronics person fiddled about with the contacts between the roof and the car body and that sorted it. Be careful though because they're very delicate. I've got the Winter Edition and I've found that you have to be very careful resetting the roof and hood if you drive with the lid off... The Streetka has several quirks but those of us who have fallen in love with it just don't notice them and even when we do we don't care! It's just so much fun to drive that quirks either add to the enjoyment or don't count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still can not get it working, its a strange one :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
