Assuming it’s fairly big, maybe 150 x 100 x 40mm then, yes, thats the main box for the alarm. The hazards should flash on arm / disarm. The dash light should go out when the alarm is disabled but it will auto rearm after a min or so unless you turn the ignition on.

I did renew battery in remote and it did once get all the lights flashing which I thought was promising but false dawn unfortunately. Will try reset and some wire tracing. Is the dash light just an awareness raiser for thieves?

I seem to remember the texalarm on my 2+2 stop responding to the remote a couple of times. On mine there is a reset button in a hole in the side of the main control box that you can press with a paperclip, i think it will then recode it to the remote when you press it. Somewhere i do have the instructions for it still but Quantum did use a couple of different version of the Texalarm. To bypass it you will just need to trace the wires back from the control unit into the loom, these are probably all black wires. Most of the wires will just tap into existing circuits without breaking them but in 1 or 2 places you should find the original Ford wire has been cut and there are wires to the alarm from each side. You will need to rejoin the original cut wires to bypass the immobiliser. On a petrol engine these usually break the ignition coil circuit and the starter circuit, on a Diesel it is probably the fuel cutoff solenoid and the starter. If it's been done properly the cut wires will be behind the dash and the ends won't be adjacent (i.e a section of the original wire is missing) but this is rarely done and usually the wires are cut on the steering column (especially for the starter) or near the ignition coil / fuel cutoff solenoid . -----Original Message----- From: David Robinson Sent: Thursday, April 23, 2020 7:36 AM To: Quantum Owners Group Subject: [Quantum Owners] Texalarm wont let me in Hi, looking for some help as during this lockdown decided to take wraps off long stored 2+2. The Texalarm which I believe to be aftermarket on this 1.8 turbo diesel will notfunction; there appears to be a receiver unit in the central console and a tell-tale LED on the righthand side of the upper dash.With battery charged this LED is lit but does not react to fob.Any help/advice on how to address or by-pass would be much appreciated.Regards -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
