Hi all.
Before I get my head ripped off, I've spent the last hour searching around for a reasonable answer to my problem and a further 45 minutes playing with the Clio on the drive but I've yet to find anything that genuinely helps me, so I'm asking the community for help!
Problem is in the title. I've got a 182, had it around 4 months now and I love it to bits.
The alarm used to work no problem however now it does absolutely nothing. The red light next to the gear stick doesn't flash either and nor does it make any of the warning sounds when you leave doors open etc. I effectively have no alarm.
I've checked all my fuses and I've even tried disconnecting the battery for a few minutes too and still nothing.
I noticed the problem a week or so ago but wasn't phased by it but a girl I used to work with recently had her car pinched (in my defense it was her fault) but it's got me worried.
Only thing I can think of - a month after owning the car, I fitted an aux cable to the back of my headunit (it's an after market Apline thing) and in the processes I shamefully popped a fuse.
I read somewhere that the alarm cables go somewhere behind the stereo and maybe I've disconnected something. I hope I'm wrong because it's spaghetti junction behind there. I'm now wondering if it's actually been dead since then and I've just been too deep in my own little world to notice it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and a prod in the right direction would be awesome so when I start pulling the car apart on my next day off, I know what to look for!
Cheers,
Mike.
