This evening i accidently set off the panic alarm when putting the key ring in my pocket.
My alarm arms but the doors wont lock.
The connecting tab can either be tightened or replaced as needed.
If it won t lock open the door.
I get the standard two beeps when unlocking.
Shut the door and try to lock it.
I have a 1997 nissan sentra with auto locks and an aftermarket alarm and when i press the arm button my alarm arms but doesn t lock my doors the unlock button will unarm my car and unlock the doors if i lock them manually how can i fix this myself.
In any case this does not mean your alarm isn t armed when the doors don t work it just means the actuator malfunctioned and you just lock them manually.
All the doors lock fine.
When i push my alarm button to lock it arms but doesnt lock the doors.
My alarm will not arm.
Press the unlock and the trunk buttons ii iii at the same time.
But each time i want to arm my car i have to push the door lock button.
When i press lock on the key fob i get the standard beep then another beep about a second later and the alarm will not arm.
The fix is easy too.
I turned it off but when i hit the lock button on the key the lights flashed the doors locked but the horn did not toot.
The alarm is the one that locks and unlocks the doors for me.
I have also tried locking it from the inside door itself.
What could be the sudden problem.
Press and release do not press and hold.
Have the vehicle turned off and the doors closed unlock the vehicle or disarm the alarm system by pressing unlock on your remote.
Any advice would be appreciated.
I have to open the door and push the lock button.
Any alarm installer should usually have spare connecting tabs.
When i push the alarm button to disarm it unlocks and doors and is fine.
