Land Rover Repair: Unable to start vehicle without alarm going off, rangie, range rover


Question
I have a 2001 Range Rover SE. Serviced regularly by the local dealer. Just recently my remote will not unlock the car and when I use the key for manual entry the alarm goes off and disengages the engine leaving me stranded...what is causing the malfunction?

Answer
Hi Eric,

here is the Rangie's guide to alarm system troubles:
http://www.rangerovers.net/repairdetails/becm/alarm.html

This site will spell out the various alarm woes of Rangie owners worldwide and I'm sure it will help you.

It discusses the Emergency Key Access (EKA) procedure and explains in detail the possible causes of alarm failures.

Best of luck,
