[s-cars] Strange security issue

[Fred Munro]

Kevin;

To resync the locks and alarm:

1. Unlock the car (alarm sets ON).
2. Open the hood, open the relay box, and remove circuit breaker "A2". This
disables the alarm circuit and turns the alarm off. The car is now unlocked
with the alarm OFF
3. Wait a few minutes and replace the circuit breaker. Close the relay box
and close the hood. The alarm should now be OFF with the car unlocked.
4. Lock the car with the key. The alarm will set ON. Use the remote to open
the locks - this re-activates the remote locking system. The alarm and lock
should now be in sync.

Check your battery. This seems to happen more frequently when the battery is
nearing the end of it's life.

Howdy folks,

Last night when leaving work I hit the button to unlock the door of my
93 S.  I heard the air pump actuate and the car alarm went off.  I then
got in the car and the ignition was disabled.  Now when I hit the door
lock button it no longer works.

What is extra strange is that when I use the button to unlock/lock the
door I get opposite results.  The little alarm puff noise now happens
when the car is unlocked and the inside lights turn on when I lock it.
Unlock - lights turn off.  Lock - lights turn on.

Any helpful tips for trouble shooting?

Thanks in advance,

Kevin
