tentonhammer 10 Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) Is the bat ok in your fob? What about your 12V? As you were (no doubt) testing your lights you might need to throw some charge into your 12V. Edited January 31, 2012 by tentonhammer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny H 0 Posted January 30, 2012 Is the bat ok in your fob? What about your 12V? As you were (no doubt) testing your lights you might need to through some charge into your 12V. The bats are ok in both, 12v is only a few months old and the fobs are fine aswel. I've just found out that I've got a key for the alarm, will this help??

tentonhammer 10 Posted January 31, 2012 Can you actually get in to the car - are you locked out? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny H 0 Posted January 31, 2012 Can you actually get in to the car - are you locked out? Yeah I can get in and drive it, I just can't use the fob to lock or unlock the car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fuse?? Where will it be? I'll have a look and see if it's blown Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toohottotrot 10 Posted January 31, 2012 Not sure where the fuse would be, possibly in the alarm, there should be a cover to unscrew. Anyone on here got info on the VAG Scorpion 5000 alarm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny H 0 Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) Well Thank you guys for all your help cause I've fixed it today. This is what I did:- a) Disconnected battery for 1 hour. b) Turn Ignition ON. c) Reconnect battery. d) Turn ignition OFF. e) Press remote control for 10 seconds. Worked first time for me. Thanks again guys. Johnny Edited February 5, 2012 by Johnny H Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
