Following a dead battery, my 2nd 540's alarm goes off when I now connect a new battery to it.
I've followed the instructions in the owners manual -
Shut drivers door, turn key in ignition to position 1 and leave for 15 minutes. Horn stops after 30 seconds, hazards turn off after 5 mins, but the alarm LED will no go off even after an hour! Any attempt to switch ignition on, or open the door sets the alarm off again.
I'm guessing I need to re-synchronise the remote key as it won't stop the alarm, but I guess that won't work until the alarm is deactivated! Catch 22!
Has anyone successfully managed to deactivate the alarm?
If tried following the suggestions I found when searching other posts here and on the net, but none seem to work :( .
Car is a 94 540 btw.
TIA
