Battery setting off alarm!!!??? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I left my dome light on the other night and my battery went dead. We pulled the cables off the battery and charged it back up but now whenever I reconnect the battery cables the factory alarm goes off and the lights start flashing. Basically it is like someone is pushing the panic button everytime I try to hook up the battery. Any ideas? It's getting very annoying.

It may not have a factory alarm?

If anything. Connect the battery terminals, and run to the driverside door and lock then unlock the door. If that doesn't reset it. You have an aftermarket alarm..which in that case pull the fuse, and disconnect the alarm.

It is the factory alarm and there is no additional alarm.

The OE alarm does not go off when power is lost. And if by some reason yours does, a flick of the key in any cylinder will turn it off. If not, it's not OE.
