No alarm arming or flashing indicators

If the door cards have ever been off a wire may have been damaged, the wiring on the modules inside the door card look extremely delicate around 1mm thick and I can see how they would be easily damaged if you are not extremely careful with removal

You may actually be on to something. ISTA could not communicate with the alarm module on Terminal 15. I found the fuse 7.5amp was blown.

Replaced it and the clown nose now flashes when locked and behaves normally. However the interior is not being monitored. If I lock the car with the roof down or window open nothing will trigger the alarm. However if I jack the car the tilt switch kicks in!

Door skins off is my next job to check the DWA modules.

I will update as I go.

So finally got to do some more digging into my alarm. The only thing not working was the microwave sensors.

So took the door cards off. Passenger side all good.

Drivers side someone had been in there and pulled the wires out of the connector. That would explain the blown fuse.

Re pinned the connection and replaced the fuse again (as it blew when I touched the wires).

And….all working perfectly
