I had the same problem when my battery went flat and tried to use jumper cables connected to another vehicles battery. I called Volvo and they said I need to disconnect the battery terminal to reset the computer. After re-conecting it the remote control worked again and I was able to jump start the car. Maybe your car's computer went into a similar state.

2006 accent ,we put key door tonight and alarm goes off ,when it stops i can not get the engine to turn over

Read your owners manual on how to re-set the alarm off as when you locked the doors you have used the remote key and used regular key to open the door. As you alarm system a bit different than the one I have, you may have to press different remote button sequence to re-set the alarm and get the immobiliser re-set to off. Normally the engine should re-start after 15 minutes rest between tries with alarm re-settingsequence.

The way mine works, I have to turn on and off the ignition without starting engine then after 3 turns it should chirp then I would turn it fully to start the engine.

If you find this helpful, please return a thumb up and a favourable vote resposne. Thank you.

The service indicator can be reset as follows: Place the key in position 1, push and hold the trip odometer reset, the trip odometer will zero, turn the key to position 2 while continuing to hold the trip odometer reset. The odometer number will return to the previous value and the service indicator will be reset.

I replaced the battery in my 2007 volvo s40 2.4i, and the alarm light blinks, but nothing else works. The key isn't working to open the doors and turn off the alarm?

Hello! Tell me Is the hood open or closed? Do you have a spare door key?
If the doors are locked, the hood is closed, your key will not unlock the doors, and neither will your spare...Your going to need a locksmith...

Send a comment with a full description as to what happened and I'll attempt a fix...........Guru...........saailer

Lost original car alarm control... need to reset a new one...


programing a Nissan remote , is hidden secret by Nissan Dealers. As a Nissan Technician i will share it.

Just get in your vech , close all doors. Using your power lock switch , lock all doors. After doors are locked take your Ignition Key and insert it and remove it from ignition switch in a slow fashion , but consitant pace. (97 and earlyer are fast) When you see the hazzard lights flash, put key in ignition switch and turn to the On postion .. Do NOT CRANK or you will have to Start over .. After in the On postion .. Hit the Lock button on remote... Hazzard lights should flash..( note..you have to reprogram all remotes when adding a new one , if you don't your old remotes will not work ) If your doing just the one , turn igntion switch off and unlock door and get out and try it. If you are doing more than one. While still in Vech with Key on . After you hit the Lock button on Remote and hazzard light flashed .. with key still on .. use master lock switch unlock doors and relock and then hit Second Remote, Lights should flash again , repeat if adding a 3rd remote.. after done just turn key off and unlock door and get out and try.
