central locking / alarm 850

Over the weekend, I thoroughly cleaned the ground cable for the battery, and I also got into the dash and checked all the connections to the alarm unit and remote reciever. Nothing tricky, I just made sure everything was tight, unplugged a few connections and reconnected them, checked the relays, etc. Holy Cow! It's working perfectly. Finally. My remote still doesn't work, but it's probably the remote (you should see it). Also, my battery drain issue has gone away, and as for the buzzy alarm, it was just a loose resonator on the horn. Everything is normal.

I bought my '94 about 2 years ago and have been trying to deal with some of it's issues. Thanks to everyone at brickboard, I'm quickly learning how to troubleshoot and solve many of the problems that torment the average car owner. My check list is getting shorter!

Thanks again!
Jonathan
