We just disconnected the battery because as soon as it's back connected the horns honking lights flashing...it becomes ..well...a disco.

Just had the starter put in took it around the block, shut it off and went to turn it back on, and all was dark , so figured one of the terminals were loose on the battery. As soon as it was reconnected all lights went on and withing minutes the alarm went off. The only way to shut it off was by unhooking the battery. I've looked through the forums and have seen something about an alarms swith under the hood....where would that be? Any help would be greatly appreciated since it's been since September that I've not had this car, and I was really looking forward to having it back. ...and if it needs to be reset, how does one do that? I'm at a loss, and would be so grateful for your help It's a 1997 Discovery...and I'm a sad chick from Massachusetts

Did you try locking and unlocking the driver side door while the alarm is going?

 

Thanks Roving, yes I saw that in another post on here so I gave it a go and was thrilled that it worked! woo hoo! so thrilled to have it back running...although one of the battery teminals is cracked so...gotta do that first...if it's not one thing....

Thanks for your response, I appreciate it

 

Good to know, My Discovery has started locking itself, bit of a problem if you jump out to open the gate, locked out and engine running.!!! Any idea's what I can try to get over this..
