Blue alarm light (9 Viewers)

[KLWinton]

I have a Ducato based Elddis motorhome and it has an LED in the front window pillar that flashes when it is locked and alarmed. Recently the light has stopped flashing. Is this something that I have switched off unknowingly and can it be turned back on again. TIA

It's not possible to accidentally or program out the blue LED in the front window pillar, as this is used to indicate the flash codes used to program the alarms features and modes, so it would likely be either the LED, wiring to the LED or something within the electronics of your alarm has failed if your alarm is still arming and disarming.
Have you tried setting your alarm with the Autowatch remote, not the Peugeot remote, and opening a cab door to see if your alarm is actually working ?

Do you know if it's a VanBitz alarm ?

If so, the blue LED's have a Bright and Dim switch.
(Dim can hardly be seen in sunlight)

There may also be switches to switch the internal PIR on/off and the cycle alarm loop (if fitted) on/off.

On a Mercedes Sprinter based van the switches are by the passengers left knee.
But location would vary depending on the base vehicle.

If it's VanBitz, then they will replace and upgrade the systems as required.
(However they are based about as far away from you as you can get, but they do have a phone!)

I only have the Fiat remote to lock and unlock the motorhome, we bought the motorhome new and as far as I know it’s standard. No additional buttons anywhere.

Okay, then go into your van and use your remote to lock and arm your alarm while you are in your van.
The alarm normally takes 30 seconds to fully arm, so leave it 45 seconds to a minute and then open a cab door from inside to see if the alarm goes off.

Ok since posting this I have also noticed the alarm doesn’t chirp when locking or unlocking. Is there a way to disable the alarm and re-enable it saw something in the manual about permanent disablement but can get it to do anything.

Any help appreciated

It is an Autowatch standard fit on Elddis.
