Alarm not arming anymore

UnknownBeing · 01-27-2020, 08:52 AM

Hey All -
It seems that my alarm is no longer arming.
Up until yesterday, my lights would flash and I would get a chirp on lock/unlock.
Now when I lock it, it won't arm (No blinking clown nose, no chirp, no lights.) The panic button also does not work anymore.

I checked in iDrive and the two settings for the confirmation on lock/unlock are unchecked and I cannot turn them on.
Any ideas on what to check? I've opened and closed all my doors/trunk and I don't believe it thinks any are open.

And yes, my car did come factory with the alarm

There is clearly an error in the system, but without the error code, no one will be able to assist.

It seems there is no communication with the FZD module. My sunroof no longer works as well. Any ideas on what to check for this?

Bump. Any ideas what to check? FZD doesn't show up in esys at all. The sunroof button doesn't light up with the rest of the interior lights as well.

Maybe the battery is going?

How would I check this? Everything else in the car is OK. Car starts perfectly every time. I even had the car sitting for a week+ and when I got back it started without a struggle.

I got this problem resolved. I purchased a use FZD module off of eBay, swapped it in and everything started working again right away.
