Car Alarms: after market anti theft alarm problem, dash area, audi a6


Question
I have a 96 audi a6 that I can't get to start after a battery change.  The light on the dash blinks consistently after connecting terminals.  If I try to start it goes to blinking five times in sequence.  If I lock and unlock the doors with the key it goes to three times sequence.  There is a spring loaded button under the dash (drivers side) that I think has something to do with it.  If you have any advice I would appreciate it or if you have ideas on who to call.  Thanks for your time

Answer
Alright, try to reset it.

You'll need to set off the alarm for a few seconds.
Then, look under the dash area for a button or, a toggle
switch. When you locate it, turn on the ignition
key, press and hold in the button (little
spring loaded micro button, red or black possibly)
until the alarm chirps 1 time. This should over ride
the system, and only the keyless entry part,
if installed, would still be operating.
The LED (light emiting diode) light in the dash
should also go on solid.

At this point. the alarm would have reset.
If this had a starter kill relay installed,
it would now be opened, and the engine would
turn over when tried.

You would repeat these steps to go back to
user mode to see if this was corrected.

But if it does work, I'd keep it this way, and
replace the alarm asap with one you know and
understand how it operates for the best overall
experience.

Let me know if it works for yours.
