Carina Flat Battery - Joined By A Buzzer!

Recommended Posts

Hi - I'm just preparing to part with my trusty Carina E 1.6 CD and it has been sitting idle for a few weeks. I started it up and the engine ran fine 3 days ago (though I noticed signs of the Battery getting a bit weak). Today I've had an offer for the car, went out to start it and was rewarded by manic clicking of the starter, now followed by nothing. The interior light is very dim, so I tried jump-starting it (seemed to make no difference but it was very dark and I'm not sure of I got the jump leads on firmly enough). Now when I open the car door there is a buzzer (high pitched whine), which goes off again when the door is closed. There's no response from the starter. Is this just a totally flat Battery or has the immobiliser kicked in? I hope not because the Battery in the key fob is about out! any ideas?

This was a flat Battery, and yes the immobilser did come on. Managed to reset using the keyfob. The four indicators flashed but no alarm horn so this may be faulty or de-activated. Phew.

I lost the keys to my carina e and with it the keyfob. i have a spare key and leyfob, but unfortunately the keyfob needs re-programming i think (i replaced the Battery but the thing still doesn't work, although the light comes on when i press the button). i managed to turn the alarm off but the immobaliser has turned on and the car doesn't start. How can i turn it off? Also, will only the dealers be able to turn it off or can i take it to any mechanic or alarm specialist to sort the problem out? your help will be hgreatly appreciated (my dad's on my case).
