Title: Ultima 12V alarm/immobiliser etc.
Post by allan_w on Mar 25^th, 2004, 7:20pm

Hi everone, any of you lads got a scorp. that gives 3 silent indicator flashes after double clicking/locking with the remote but only when it feels like it!! Also a "boot open" indicator that comes on at random (where is the switch/sensor)?that I believe may be causing false car alarms. One more point, the L E D on top of the dash never flashes? Great forum lads! have picked up loads of excellent info. cheers.

Hi M8 what year is your scorp?? Mine is 1995 and does not flash indicators. The led ontop of dash is related to the immobiliser so im told?? Does your alarm work?

Cheers Nick ;)

Hi there

The LED on the dash should come on when you lock the doors with the remote pressed once and if pressed twice you should here a faint noise like the double locking motors kicking in.
I have a 95 ultuma and I havent got flashing indicators but if you want them to flash you could ask your local Fords garage to hook you up to their computer and they will program it, depending on year and model of course. Check first how much they are going to charge you, Or PM J Austin (I believe) and he is making a device that will cause your indicators to flash and cause a speaker to bleep; aswell.
Have a look in the side menus under mods. I think and it is there.

Hope that was of some use anyway

Alan ;D ;D

Thanks for replies lads. 1. car is a 96 2.9 12v ultima. 2. the indicator lights have always given 3 flashes after double clicking until a few days ago. 3. the car alarm was sounding (falsely) again last week, however since indicators stopped giving 3 flashes car false alarms aso stopped!?4. does anyone know where "boot open" switch/sensor is located as I think they could all be linked somehow?Sorry one more question, there is 1 hydraulic tappet continuously tapping away at all speeds all others are silent! Does anyone know where I can access a diagram for the later 12v engine showing the layout of cylinder heads pushrods tappets etc? Apart from that for a 202,000+miles car she runs well with everthing but the dreaded climate control (mind of its own) working as it should. I seem to like high milers 230,000mile volvo 740 estate.180.000peuget 205turbo diesel 203,000 rover418turbo diesel(peuget engine) just shows what using good quality oil/filters changed at correct times can atchieve!

The failure to flash syndrome after a spate of false alarms has happened to me,so far I havn't found out the cause.Its been 6 months now.
Everything else continues to be normal,double locking etc and the pats light on top of dash doesnt indicate any problems.

Im just guessing but i would imagine the boot switch is built in to the catch on the boot lid
