Red lights not flashing as I unplugged the alarm unit under the steering wheel but despite turning over well it's not starting. Feels very much like it's immobilised. Presumably disconnecting AFTER it's immobilised doesn't help. Any further suggestions how to unlock it? Ripping my hair out as MOT expires in a few days too. Never had any fobs for this car.

Doesn't seem like an immobiliser issue.
The alarm immobiliser works on the starter. The chip key immobiliser (seperate to the alarm system) works on the fuel ECU but will start briefly initially. Then given a break will start again later. I would start considering the usual suspects, look for fuel and fire. Rpm needle flickering? Pump priming and powering, injectors pulsing, fuel pressure? |

Afternoon all. I hope everyone is well.
Just a quick update. I put fresh batteries in the central locking fob and reprogrammed no issue. The alarm however is still sounding. I can’t private message you back sorry Loki as I’m new to the forum and need to hit 30 posts. Would replacing the immobiliser relay unit solve this problem? Thanks for the patience and assistance...I have noticed since owning the car only one week that the Volvo bunch are a lot more friendly than their VW counterparts 👍🏻 |

I've got 2 different spare ones; apparently they are interchangeable as the difference has something to do with the fobs' frequency though I've used fobs from a unit with a black casing and different part number on the Valdez which has the same unit as yours. https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showt...ighlight=Guard

The later cars have a slighly different alarm fob and a different shapped key with the RFID chip immobiliser in it. It is fully integrated into the fuel ECU and the car cannot be driven without major surgery. The alarm can still be removed and the starter bypassed the same way, but leaving the ECU key chip immobiliser functioning. |

I went to lock my 1995 940 TDIC last night on the remote guard 1 control and nothing. Had to lock the car with the key
I replaced the batteries today and nothing ......no led Opened the grey coloured remote and looks to me, that the chrome and red switch on the PCB does not return. So have taken the old switch off and ordered a new switch (pack of 10) and will solder a new switch back on and see what happens Is a pain not having the central locking, not driven the car since yesterday, but as the alarm is not activated/immobiliser is not activated it should start ok If the switch repair fails, is there a chance of a replacement remote ??? |

There is much good information on here about how to repair the (grey one-button) Volvoguard 1 remotes and receiver. This thread makes a good starting point and one of my posts in it links to one about the receiver.
https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=234429 If the red light isn’t coming on the remote there is a Murata resonator (the small, white, rectangular component with two legs) which tends to either come away from the PCB or break one of its legs. Quite easy to repair/replace if you know one end of a soldering iron from the other. |
