Re: Imobiliser lamp malfunction
Not sure about that - There's a different light for the Handbrake and the Immobiliser ..
Handbrake light is top, left
Immobiliser light is bottom left, next to Ignition.

Re: Imobiliser lamp malfunction
one last thought... when you cleaned up the wiring did you combine the earths from the immobiliser ? Not sure why it makes a difference but the alarm install instructions mention it should be a separate earth (two earth wires) and not both combined to a single point.

Re: Imobiliser lamp malfunction
Only one bundled wiring harness comes out of the immobiliser unit. These black cables end in a plug with many connections. There is also a small cable lug that is for the antenna. This big connector is then in turn plugged into a connector in the car wiring harness.
I have not changed anything here at all.
Look at your install instruction you can see the red LED with two little wires. I think here is the problem with this two wires or inside the unit.

Re: Imobiliser lamp malfunction
I'd say you maybe out of luck - I did read something about the alarm not liking being without power for a long time but nothing useful to return it to it's regular state. Failing that, it may have just gone duff, have you asked the factory if they have any advice?

Re: Imobiliser lamp malfunction
Really that is not a problem. Every winter I fiddled out the battery and put the battery in my office or in the basement.
I can't translate "duff".
No, I have not ask. [mention]HenryJS[/mention] always reads the forum, so I'm sure he already knows my problem.
I like to repeat it again - I have no problem with function of the imobiliser. The car runs perfectly. Only the imobiliser LED has a malfunction.

useless, broken, or of poor quality
If you describe something as duff, you mean it is useless, broken, or of poor quality.

I wouldn't assume that. He certainly doesn't read everything on the forum. Why don't you just call him?Curves Junkie wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 7:55 pmNo, I have not ask. @HenryJS always reads the forum, so I'm sure he already knows my problem

My English is not as well that I could explain the problem on the phone.

I do try to keep a tab here and there on the forum!
email me henry@arielmotor.co.uk and i will talk with our service team and see if we can solve the problem
I might advise first off - to disconnect the gauges etc you have added, and see if the lamp + immobiliser works normally without the extras.
Thanks!

The oil pressure and oil temp gauges I had added have their own wiring totally extra from the Atom wiring.
As a reminder, the immobiliser itself works 100%.
I had not found the problem but I had found a dirty solution. I had cut both wires from the immobiliser lamp.
Next winter season I will connect an extra LED-lamp near the immobiliser unit - so I can check if there is a broken cable at the loom.
