HI GUYS SINCE OWNING MY X PLATE SCOOB WHEN I SET THE ALARM IT DOES NOT CHIRP AND THE INDICATORS DO NOT FLASH ANY IDEAS LOOKED AT FORUM AND LINKS BUT N0 LUCK MANY THANKS

 

It's probably because your CAPS LOCK function is on. Switch it off and the alarm will work fine.

[/gentle sarcasm]

Possibly a silly question, but have you checked that the alarm actually works - and goes off if you open a door, or move around inside, once it's fully set?

There appear to be two separate issues here, and it'd be easier to help you if you told us what sort of alarm you were talking about. If it's the standard UKDM fit Sigma M30, the arm/disarm tones can be switched on and off in the alarm's configuration. You can turn these on via the keypad - the method for doing this has been covered here a few times before so click the Search button.

The indicators should flash on arm/disarm/alarm activation. If they don't, the first thing for you to check would be that the alarm's indicator supply is receiving power. It should be connected to a permanent 12v circuit and fused at 15 amps. Could be that this fuse has gone. Could be that you have a break in the loom somewhere.

Like I said, if you want more specific help, the first thing you need to tell us is what sort of alarm you've actually got. Even then though our ability to diagnose possibly complex electrical issues is very limited. You really need to get it looked at by someone who knows what they're looking at.

 

sarcasm suck who care if its on he wants advice

 

If he wants advice, then he'll have to deal with the gentle quip.

Still, at least he got some advice from me - more than it seems you can manage. If you can do better, you carry on and I'll delete my post.
