Hey folks, hope someone with some auto electrical knowledge can assist me...
I just picked up my 2003 Toledo yesterday. I discovered a couple of problems. Note, I do not have the remote key fob, only the door key.
1) Alarm goes off when opening the passenger door for the first time after unlocking the car.
So I had a look in to this, and found a thread somewhere online describing how this could be a microswitch problem. It was possibly also linked to the volumetric alarm switch.
I need the car to go on a ferry in a couple of months, so need to be able to turn the volumetric alarm off - using the button on the door pillar. I pressed and held it, and it went red, presumably telling me it was tuned off?
2) I dont seem to be able to turn it off now either (the light on the button - i.e. to turn the volumetric alarm back on
Any ideas anyone? I've had a good search through the foums and whilst I've managed to sort out some of the other issues I have (thanks everyone) and there are threads about alarms, nothing quite covers my problem
