Just trying to work out reasons for why my alarm isnt working and thought of this, Could it be that my Car Battery is flat that my Alarm is not arming when I press the Fob?? The Battery still has life to run my Radio but not turn the engine over...

All connections are correctly made, I have removed the interior Sensor and Central Locking device to see if that was the problem but still nothing :(

I will jump the car tomorrow and leave it running for an hour to charge up.

The alarm is a Moss MS715

thanks

The starter relay will not close when the battery falls to 11 volt or below.

and because the Alarm runs from 12 Volt, this could be why its not arming / disarming?
