alarm / imobiliser not responding

[jimmy2scoop]

please help!!!!

i returned to my mk1 lotus elise 111s today and discovered that i had been a tt and left the lights on............ surprise i killed the battery.

i knew it was getting near time to buy a new battery but tried everything to get the little bugger started - i failed!

i went and purchased a new battery and installed as per instructions, there is now plenty of battery power, but i can not get the alarm or imobiliser to switch off........ i have tried using both the key fob (battery still working in that also) and the stick push imobiliser thingy.

it's the Cobra alarm / imobiliser set up.

Has any one experienced this before???? is it gonna be expensive?

any help would be great! I'm just waiting for the AA whom i assume will recover it to the garage ahhhhhhhhh!

Dont know which model of Cobra it is but it sounds like they need the codes reseting.

Try pressing both buttons until the light stays on constantly (or off completely) and then press the unlock button. They should re-sync.

Otherwise IIRC there is a manual method of switching the ignition sw and counting flashes for code entry....
