In Topic: Alarm System?

27 January 2013 - 11:50 PM

the litle yellow light in the middle of the dash, on the lock button is only on while the canbus system is live, the little red flashing light is the PATS Passive Anti Theft System light, or in other words, the immobiliser

whether you have an alarm or not is not dependant on the deal locking feature

one click of the lock button just locks the doors from the outside (if you have an alarm it activates at this stage after about 30 seconds)
second click activates the dead locks, hence why you hear the clunking noise from the latch units in the doors and also the visual confirmation of this y flashing the hazard lights

Thanks for this info. I did wonder if the alarm actually worked after having the Zetec S stolen.

Isn't it the flashing LED in the dash, that's there regardless of if you have an alarm or not.

I have had a Zetec S and now a Metal both have the little yellow light on the dash not a flashing LED. I deadlock the doors the yellow light comes on. When I return later the light is out. If you press the lock again it comes on. Not sure if the alarm is engaged or not anybody know?

Talking about alarms, with the mk7 when you double lock the doors is the little yellow light on the dash supposed to stay on to show the alarm is on because after a while mind goes out.

In Topic: Spare Wheel / Foam

As you have not requested it I should not count on it. A lot of people want to replace the foam stuff with a spare wheel and you might find they have given the wheel to someone else.
