Hello All,
I’ve got a Clifford 330.3x (older model no LCD on remote) my son and I installed about three years ago.
It is on a 1998 Honda Civic (used to be his car, because of plant closing is now my car). I have no response from the “control center”. Valet button does nothing blue light never comes on. Before he sold me the car he swapped out some sound equipment for his new ride. He said he silenced the chirp from the remote. The doors still lock and unlock and the lights flash but I’m not sure that without the control center LED not indicating anything the alarm is functional.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you can find the brain, check to see that everything is plugged in tight. Follow the antenna cable back to the brain. Since it is an older one might have a green, white, and blue connectors. I believe the white one is for the LED.

Thanks Smokeman,
The latest word from my son (and I told him I wouldn't be upset if he actually did mess with the wiring) was that when he was working on the car he sat on the remote at which time it made an unusual noise. from that point on no chirp and I assume (but he may not have been observant at the time because he was getting a new car) no LED action from the control center. I don't know enough about these systems to understand if a command from the remote could do that. It makes sense that the control center is unplugged. I did reseat the connection at the module (control center) but the brain is behind a side panel next to the rear seat.

If you press the F Button twice and then press the unlock button, does the LED light go on? Then if you do it again the LED should go off. ------------- When all else fails, Read the Instructions

Thanks Smokeman!!
I could have sworn (but swearing isn’t allowed on this forum, and I respect that) that we tried that the other day.
I think in our rush to try to get things back to operational status, we were pushing and not holding at the appropriate time.
Just went out to the car now, did exactly what you said (twice). The second time I think I held the unlock and the chirp and the control center came alive.
I really appreciate Your help. This forum is made great by people like you.
