Hi, some words of advice from the experts please.

We have a 1989 Mazda MX5 Japanese import which has a Texalarm ATX16 alarm/immobiliser fitted. It is an aftermarket item rather than an original fitment judging by the wiring

This device seems to have failed leading to us not being able to start the car at all, even if we just reconnect the battery the alarm goes off. What happened was that the alarm went off and would not respond to the fob, so I disconnected the battery to shut the thing up. Now if I reconnect the battery the alarm sounds

So currently the vehicle is on our drive with the multiplug disconnected from the alarm/immobiliser module, a dead, unusable car.

Question is how do I remove it from the car? If the device is likely to render the car unusable when it feels like it we would prefer not to have it.

I am a resonably competent amateur but I am concerend that if I simply follow all the wires, disconnect them and remove the unit will I then have to reconnect any wires which were separated when the device was fitted?

Any words of wisdom will be welcome, thanks in advance!

First off locate the unit. Pull all of the fuses that are in the power supply line.

locate the starter, or ign. wire that has been cut and connectec to a relay (starter disable) solder it back together.

Then attempt to reconnect the battery, and start it.

Thanks for the advice friend.

We seem to have cured the problem by simply replacing the car battery.

Lets hope that cures it permanently, if not I'll pull the unit and resolder the wires.

Cheers,

Tony
