My 1989 3.2 Carrera cabriolet is fitted with the original alarm system, and as is hardly surprising, after a third of a century it is not working.
Unfortunately, I don't know which part is not working, or if it is just a question of old age so put it all in the bin and get a new system.
I am keen on originality, so if it is possible then it would be very good to get the old system back to life.
I have managed to get the remote handset to work with the red light coming on when pressing the on/off button, but there is no indication from any of the alarm equipment in the car that anything else is working.
The (presumably) original Sonar 110R radio controlled module is in the front boot underneath the carpet, and the fuses seem to be in order. All the wiring and connectors look original.
All the other electrical equipment in the car seem to be working, so this looks like an alarm system problem.
Does anybody have, or know somebody who has, experience in fixing this that they would recommend?
Also (if the old alarm is beyond help) is there a replacement system suitable for a 3.2 Carrera that anybody would recommend?
Thank you for any suggestions and advice.
