No. Both fobs lock and unlock the doors fine, the car drives fine. The
alarm just won't turn off.

It's stopped screaming, but is still flashing it's LED.

Not sure from the other post - does the key fob remote work at all? You said
it will unlock the car, but I don't know if you meant using the remote, or
key-in-the-lock...

The remote facility has gone with one of our keys - battery is fine as I
swapped between fobs and the second fob disarms just fine. The microswitch
dropped off in the past and I opened the key fob and soldered it back on
myself, so that isn't the problem. It must be possible for a key fob to lose
its coding/programming. Probably expensive to have it fixed/recoded too I
expect! We can open the door lock with either key manually and drive the car
with either key, but one of the fobs don't do anything remotely.

It was using the remote.

It's actually all fixed. Pulled the battery for a couple of hours until
the rechargables in alarm unit actually died. All is fine.

Sadly the TS has a similar issue. Thing is I didn't even know it still
had a factory fit alarm. I'm hoping that the same trick will work, but
the car battery is a bit screwed, and I don't know if the plib ever
actually worked as there is a cheapo factory fit alarms as well, which
is what I have been using.

Anyone know how to remove a 156 alarm?

I can stop it from shouting, but I'll need to stop the hazzards from
flashing as well.
