306 XRDT Immobiliser Problems?

Hi, I own a `94 xrdt, i have been away for 5days and i have come back to start my car and i get ignition (no crank on engine) then the headlights flash and the dash led flashes, i have never seen this led flash before so i presume its a problem with my immob. The immobilser is the standerd 306 key fob remote, but the remote buttons do not work so therefore i have been locking it from door locks. I have never encountered this problem before. Any ideas?!?

I am also after a fuse chart layout diagram for the fuse box under the steering column. Thanks.

Or use the `behind the rear seat` immobiliser reset trick.

3 door or 5 door? if 5 door the ecu is under the osf seat if 3 door its behind the osr trim(next to pass seat) in both cases check the connectors if there is a two pin connector thgen simply connect the two wires and your car will start as for the alarm remove it and have an aftermarket one fitted (or DIY)

I haven't had any major problems - I was merely commenting that the immobilser can be reset simply by disconnecting and reconnecting two connectors inside the back of the rear seat.

Just like to say thanks for all your help.

The last few days i have been doing a bit of work on it myself, i was told by a peugeot specialist that its definatly a loose starter lead. Checked all those they were fine. So i bridged the starter just to prove a point and it ran fine, just the headlights would flash signaling the alarm was still on. I then found the pick up for the alarm key and scanned over that...all was fine. Then something wierd happened, i was curious to that button to the right of the steering cloumn. i have breif info to what that does, so i took off the column trim and this button was not plugged in , nor can i find the other plug where it connects. But ever since then (24 hours ago) it has started with no fail and no alarm cutting in :? im stumped.

most likely case is that the immobiliser kicked in after low battery voltage. if you always used the key locks and not the remote then you would never activate immobiliser. make sure you have plenty of power in battery then put ignition onto second position and press ultrasonic button on right hand side of steering cowling within 5 seconds. this will deactivate alarm and immobiliser. indicators will flash when applied correctly.

That button on the side of the cowling was not plugged in, nor can i see where it plugs, i cant see the battery voltage being low as it has a new bosch battery on it, maybe i disturbed an ignition lead while lowering the cowling? i cant seem to make it happen again, it would just be nice what caused it, otherwise it could come back anytime.

if you?re headlights flash then there is definetly a plug there for the switch. just a case of finding it. it is the only way of disarming alarm/immobiliser without bypassing extreme cases the wiring is corroded at n/s/f wing
