Hi , my alarm activated on my 98 disco , I do not have a door key , and a bad actuator prevents my central locking function , I searched and have found you can disable alarm from under glove box , ( alarm control modual, but my question is will this disable my alarm that's all ready activated?? Or do I have to trip the micro switch in the drivers door , please help oh Rover GuRu 's . Have no other wheels .
Alarm armed
- Thread starter Zac1
- Start date
Post up how to disable it, please. My alarm is going off at weird times when trying to lock/unlock and I'd like to bypass the SOB.Zac1 said:
How do you bypass it and will it disable my central locking doors?
Make sure your alarm is disarmed, then under the glove box remove the black fascia ( planel ), lower bottom right , is the alarm CPU , there's 2 sets of wired plugs , the far one has 2 orange stripe /black wires , cut both wires , they are very thin so melt off enough shielding and connect them to each other with a good wire connector , I twisted and black taped at first and had to go back and do it right ( perferably use one with the shrink rap ) make sure there crimped good , and that's it , Done !as far as disarming I unplugged the micro switch on door lock and used a small wire to make a circuit , locked and un locked the door and done , good luck let me know if you are having trouble .

Ok, excuse my denseness.
So my door key does work, so unlocking my door 2x quickly should disarm my alarm?
Once disarmed, cut the two orange stripe/black wires. Then I connect the two tag ends of these wires on the plug together? Or the two loose ends going to wherever?
Once this is done my alarm will no longer work, right?
Will my central door locks still work? Any other side effects?
Thanks for the patience.
The orange/black wires are the ground path for the starter relay coming from the neutral safety switch. By splicing them together you render the alarm ecu unable to disable the starter motor. But the alarm ecu also must also give the engine ECU permission to pulse the injectors, this part I was never able to figure out a bypass for. I'm told that it can be and has been done , but can't get anyone to tell me how.
