Greetings,
I first must admit that I am an S3 Elan owner and the car in question is owned by a neighbor. The car is an '05 Elise with about 35K miles. Last week the car alarm went off and he went to shut it off through the normal procedure of hitting the alarm button on his key fob. He is the original owner and had an issue with the key fobs in the near past (He did replace both fobs and reset one fob to work with the car). Nothing would turn off the alarm and the battery was disconnected. Now the car is in my garage(towed) and we're trying to figure out what the problem is. The car will not turn over and engages the alarm when trying to start it. There is a sequence to reset the alarm, which is supposed to illuminate the alarm indicator light with flashing patterns. The light doesn't even come on. It was suggested to disarm the immobilizer by completely bypassing the module.
I am reaching out to anyone who may have resolved and issue like this before.
Thanks!
Greg Foster
