Clifford Alarm remote fob troubleshooting
I have a Cifford Intelliguard 7000 Alam system installed in my
vehicle. I have a master remote fob and a smaller one as well. After I replaced the battery in my master remote with a fresh one, the Red indicator LED glows solid red and the fob won't work (engage or disengage the alarm). Does anyone know if this means its fried or is it stuck in some mode that I can find a way out of. Thanks |

Clifford Alarm remote fob troubleshooting
What happens if you take the cover off? Is it possible you jammed the
switch when you reassembled? The LED can only light up if the switch is making contac,t or the traces it is soldered to are shorted together...

Clifford Alarm remote fob troubleshooting
John, with the unit apart, there are 4 micro-switches facing up at the
user and one micro-switch facing out the side of the unit. With the battery removed, I used a multimeter on the switch contacts and traces to test if any of the switches were stuck in a closed circuit state. All switches were electronically open, yet still electronically closed when mechanically pressed. With or without the cover off, the LED is solid red every time I connect the battery. So I am baffled at this point. I could repeat the same tests again. Thanks On Mar 3, 8:55*pm, John Durbin wrote: What happens if you take the cover off?

Clifford Alarm remote fob troubleshooting
Hey Techman...
I honestly don't know much about alarms systems, so if this is a stupid assumption I apologize. It would make sense to me that if you disconnect any/all power from a key fob for an alarm system, that you would then have to re-synchronize that fob to the actual alarm. How you would do that would be covered in the manual somewhere, but I would guess it's something like holding a button for 5 seconds or until a signal is given, then pressing another button... Just my thought. ~Mister.Lull On Mar 4, 12:52*am, techman41973 wrote: John, with the unit apart, there are 4 micro-switches facing up at the user and one micro-switch facing out the side of the unit.

That wouldn't account for the LED staying on... I would be looking for a
solder blob or other short on the PCB, water damage etc. JD Mister.Lull wrote: Hey Techman... I honestly don't know much about alarms systems, so if this is a stupid assumption I apologize.
