Default Alarm not activating.

Central locking etc all ok but alarm wont activate. No red blinking clown nose. Tried opening window and putting arm in after 30 seconds but npthing. Bmw say the clown nose should still flash even if a sensor has gone but will flash fast for about 15 seconds. They want £96 just to have a look. No error codes or anything. Fuse in trunk ok. Not sure if theres a relay? Checked vin and car definatly fitted with factory alarm. Any ideas please.

Something is not registering in order for the alarm to activate.

I doubt every switch throws a code.

You may have to hunt around old school like. Hood and trunk switches seem to be the most popular.

Was it ever working for you? If so, what was going on prior to it not working? Was something done to make it not work?

What does INPA say? That's where I'd be looking. NCS is for coding and you don't know what the issue is yet
