Sorted - it was the remote keyhead. Just coincidence that it occured after taking off the alternator. Thanks to Northway.

Thanks again- you are quite right there is a fuse in the module but unfortunately for me it is sound. I would like to pop over and will PM you to arrange a suitable time. By the way if anyone else needs to check this fuse or get the module out don't take the seat out as I did just use a short screw driver to turn the screw at the front half a turn, lift up the front and slide out.

Hello Richard, Thanks very much for your swift reply and generous offer. Actually I'm just down the road from you in Hook. Yes the interior lights dim normally. Yes with the siren and the tilt sensor disconnected I get the alarm codes in Durametrics. I have looked at the circuit diagram as the radio receiver must be on all the time and I was wondering if there is another in line fuse just for that device. I'm kind of clutching at straws here. Thanks again

Firstly, as a newbie, I’d like to thank all the people that have contributed to this forum as I have learned a great deal from them and put quite a bit of the advice to use. I have read a number of posts in regard to the alarm and central locking on the 996 so I am aware of flat batteries, sleep mode etc. My problem is quite odd – the remote, alarm and central locking were all working fine until I disconnected the car battery in order to remove the alternator and check the vacuum lines. After completing this maintenance the remote did not work. I did notice that when I disconnected the battery I got only one short beep from the siren. The fault manifests itself in that the remotes do not perform the function at all – I have replaced the battery in the remote and the led flash frequency looks okay. No errors are shown by the Durametric software. With the key the central locking works and the alarm sets – when you get in the car with the key the alarms sound until you put the key in the ignition. Thus everything else seems to be working normally. In fact it would seem that the car is in permanent sleep mode now. At the moment I have disconnected the siren and horn so that I have only flashing hazard lights when I re enter with the key. In fact I would like to disable both of these permanently without it throwing an error code. Any solutions or suggestions, apart from take it to the dealer, greatly appreciated
