Astra mk3 Alarm query

Hi, I have a 1997 mk3 Astra estate, that has an option fitted alarm as opposed to fitted as standard, I would like to identify this alarm & its method of operation as it is totaly different to the type as indicated in the handbook. The alarm has its led indicator & a 3 position switch, marked maual ,off & auto, located on the rt site of the steering column cowl, the sounder appears to be located on the lt engine bulkhead, the remote is a single button remote fob as a seporate unit to the key. one press of the button either unlocks the car(2 bleeps) or locks the car (1 bleep). Any clues would be welcome. TIA Chris

I fitted one like you describe to my 1994 Astra, what do you want to know?

It sounds like the old Vauxhall Aftermarket one. I never sold/fitted it but your local vauxhall dealer will know about it. If you pop in I am sure someone will talk you through it.

Hi Thanks for the reply,further investigation suggests its a system 90 alarm, prob a 902 with the remote module 904 I think. What I would idealy like to get hold of is a copy of the user manual for the alarm, the specific problem is that occasionally it will not respond to the remote, particularily difficult if t was previously armed & locked with the remote, as you are then have to get in with the key the alarm going & the immobiliser functioning

I was going to suggest replacing the battery in the remote control fob but you've done this I guess. I have a user manual and can copy it to PDF if you wish. I have had to replace a remote control fob before and my spare one is no longer functioning, I think they are still available from Vauxhall dealers. You'll need to specify the code printed inside.
