Jeremy, is it true that every time you replace car battery the valet code goes back to the factory which is 2 right. So whatever I did wrong I can just remove the battery terminal right. thank you |

Ok first, not it doesn't reset the valet code to factory if you unhook the power. It stays at what you set it to untill you change it yourself.
auto arming, tells the alarm to arm if you forget to arm it with the remote
auto arm and lock, does the same but it locks the doors too
auto lock, locks the door once you drive off and the motor reaches a certain rpm
auto unlock, unlocks the doors when you shut off the key
You need to be using column 2 rows 1 thru 4. I would clear out any remotes you have programed using column 2 row 5 first, and then program the remotes in from there using column 2 rows 1 thru 4 and the notes found below.

it is confusing because i read on page 24 column 2 row 5 (erase all chanels info 0n p22 note 5) but if i go to p22 they tell me to use column 2,row6. Would you please write an example how to erase all the memory on my remote
To add a new remote,how do you do it? what do I need to program first the remote or the brain. |

Hi... I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of the Clifford Security system causing their car to stall all the time. In the middle of driving, we stall out (and it takes time to get it started up again). We took it to a mechanic thinking it was the ignition switch, fuel pump or something else. He told us that the 1st thing he would do would be to remove Clifford. The car is 7 years old and has had Clifford in it for most that time, so maybe it's gone bad or something?? Does this make sense to anyone?? Could removing Clifford possibly solve our "stalling" problem?? I appreciate any help you can give me!! Thanks!! |

dang, you don't program the remote. YOU PROGRAM THE BRAIN TO LOOK FOR THE REMOTE.
I never said the valet code will reset. I did say the remotes will reset. Why would cliford use the coded valet switch if every time you unhook power it goes back to factory?
Don't worry about the note. If the table says collum 2 row 5 then use that.
Julie, that doesn't sound right. If your really worried, have a clifford dealer discoect the starter kill, and see if it stopes your problem. That would be about the only place that the clifford could start the problem. If you have the fuel cut off also, have them disconect that too. If it keeps doing it, find a new machanic.
Julie, if the alarm goes off when the car dies, then you turned the black jack program on. Go into the programing menue, and turn it back off. If the alarm doesn't go off when the cart dies, then don't worry and go with my first idea.
Red, sounds like your cliford is on its last leg. I would talk to a clifford dealer, and (if you bought the alarm, or have a warannty) they should replace or fix it for free.

Jeremy, for example, the factory valet code is 2. i change it to my secret valet code number for 4 and then for some reason i forget my valet code. what should i do. then if i remove the power then the valet code should go back to 2. is it correct? |

You can not reset the valet code. The ONLY way is to take it to the dealer and have them replace the brain, or IF!!! they can, reset it with the computer.
Look at it this way, if you change the code, and a theif tries to steal your car. The only way he can get it to start is enter the valet code that you changed it to. If it automatically changes back to the defualt when power is removed all he would have to do is unhook the battery, hook it back up enter 2 and off he goes with your car. Kinda defeats the purpose of a coded valet switch don't it. |

I too am having problems with a clifford.
I have a clifford 7000. I am unable to enter the programming mode and my last remote just ran out of batteries. In fact the car is stranded at walmart. Is there a way to reset the alarm to factory defualts with out entering the programable mode? I am not sure if I forgot the code, the switch is bad, or if the brain is bad. oh yea, for a long time now, when disarming the alarm (silent or not) the alarm would chirp a deep chirp instead of a high pitched chirp, but was normal when arming.
Thanks in advance. |

We've recently bought a used Jeep, which has both the original factory alarm, as well as the Clifford. The doors were accidentally locked manually, which we were told would set off the Jeep alarm and possibly mess up the Clifford. Now, even though both alarms seem to go on and off fine, the ignition has cut off and we can't get it started. Any suggestions? |

I don't see how that would (mess up) the clifford. Yes I can see it causing the factory alarm to go off. Since the clifford send an arm disarm siginal to the factory alarm. Other than it going off for a sec till you disarm it, you shouldn't really have any other problems. I would check the fuses if I was you, and if they are all fine, put the clifford in valet mode, and see if it will start then. Let me know what happens after you try that, and I will try to help you out some more. |

I have a honda civic coupe, \with a concept 600 alarm. The engine was cutting out at idle but always able to restart (but not always straight away) Also whist driving there was a judder before all this. Tried fuel additive and wotked ok for a while.When it actually cut out whislt driving it felt there was nothing there on the gas. When stopped could not restart for a LONG time.garage had it and replaced dizzy. Cut out 10 mins after collecting car on mrs bday. ( NOT HAPPY) garage reckon maybe something to do with the alarm. I've been told that it could be the wireless fuuelguard. Said they are not totally 100% so clifford don't use them on later generations of alarm. Anyone help please??? |

I've had a Clifford Concept 300, fitted to my car ( Subaru Impreza ) From then on I have had numerous problems with the alarm, these mainly being : the alarm being activated for no apparent reason, alarm not responding to key fob, and once being stranded because the system could not be dis-armed.
Just to give an example, I returned to the car which was parked (Today) in an empty car park with nothing either side of car only to find the alarm had been activated !
I have, been to their workshop concerning the above problems and the alarm sensitivity had been lowered which I believe to be at the minimum settings allowed by the system at this moment in time, but the problems still persist !
I have had Clifford systems installed on previous cars and needless to say had never any problems with them, and was one of the reasons why I chose to have another one installed on the above car. As it stands Im not using the alarm at the moment due to the above factors and by doing this defeats the purpose of having a "good" system installed into that type of car.
it has gone beyond annoying.!!!!!!!!!!!
What to do ? Supplier seems to be ' Not Concerned' !!!!!

I hope Someone Can help me with my problem. I bought a Clifford Matrix RS 3.5 a year ago. The LCD Remote is not getting back a signal but it is sending signals to the car. when I push the arm button the car will lock but the arm indicator on the remote will say it is unlocked. The Antenna on the top left of the remote has stopped blinking. The remote will send signals to the car but not recieve them back knowing what it did. Im not sure if it is the alarm antenna in the car or if i need a new remote? |

homer90 look and see how many times the led flashes after you disarm and see what the manual says. It sounds like a trunk or hood pin is dirty ot out of adjustment to me. Second thing I would check is the fuses and make sure the conectors are clean. I have seen that cause problems like this before too. If neither of those seem to be the problem, go to a diffrent dealer, tell them what is going on, and ask them to check it out. They might figure out that the brain is on the frits, but that is the least likely of the three if you ask me.
Kane, need more info. Honestly most cliffords won't continue going off for an hour plus. Either way, I need more info on what is going on, and what alarm you have to be able to help.
Alex, have the clifford dealer try a new remote. If that fixes it, then their is your problem. If not the transmitter on your car that sends siginals to the remote probably went bad. I would have them try that second, and you should be good to go. Either way, this is stuff a dealer needs to play with. Not much you can do at home.

Chevy it should be out and the open and look like a simple 2 way toggle switch. One side will have a * on it and the other side will be flat. The problem is that it is coded, and unless the old owner left it at the factory code, your kina stuck.
There is hope though, Tell me what your remote looks like (in detail, or a pic) and I will tell you how to put it in valet mode using the remote.
Untill then, if the buttons make a square hit the top right. If they make a diamond, hit the top center (it will be a large round button). That will get you going with the normal arm disarm stuff.
Jane, What beeps are you talking about, and is the LED red all the time, or does it flash when you press the arm button? |

Try something for me, press and hold the arm disarm button on your remote, and the lights will start flashing, and the alarm will sound. If it does then its just a simple programing thing that I will get to in a sec. If the lights do flash and the alarm doesn't sound your siren probably went bad and you need to have it replaced.
Ok on to the programing stuff.
1 Turn the ignition on
2 Enter your valet code
3 then press and hold the * button of the
PlainView 2 switch for about 3 seconds until you hear a siren chirp. (this is why I had you check to see if the siren is working)
4 press the flat (unmarked button) twice (wait till you hear 2 chirps)
5 Press and release the * button once (you will hear one chirp)
6 it will now chirp 1, 2, or 3 times.
7 repeat steps 4 and 5 till you hear 2 chirps (that is the loud (regular chirp) setting, if you want the chirps to be quiet but still on repeat steps 4 and 5 till you hear 3 chirps.
Hope that helps.

Yeah if you don't have it your kinda stuck. You can try the defualt, ** flat, and hope the old owner didn't change it. Or you can take it in and see if the clifford dealer can reset it.
My only other sugestion till you have a chance to really work it, is put it into valet mode using the remote. It will tell you how in the manual. |

I bought a Matrix RX 3.5 a year ago and it never had any problems until now. My antenna won't read the signal from the remote. The antenna is placed on top of my back mirror. The only time that I can unlock/lock my car is if I put the remote right on the antenna. Could it be heat damage to the antenna or could it be the brain? Please help. |

Hi I need some HELP! I have a 1990 Honda Prelude SI with a clifford alarm (I'm not sure which model). I drove it yesterday, didn't touch or adjust anything in it I swear, got home and parked it as usual. A half hour later I went to open my car door as usual and the alarm (which is incredibly obnoxious!) started going off. I finally got it to stop, started to pull out of my parking space, and 10 seconds later it went off again as I was driving! The car used to belong to my dad who is in Whister this week and I can't reach by phone to find out how to turn off the alarm. I don't know what to do, I can't touch the car, even when I open the trunk it gives out warning beeps so I just back away and leave it alone. I live in a 65 unit apartment building, it's the middle of summer and everyone has their windows open...they're pretty pissed. I don't have a remote keyless thing to disarm it, I don't even have automatic locks on my doors, they're manual. When it went off all I could do was sit there and wait for it to stop. Please help!!! I don't even want the stupid alarm on anymore but I don't know how to turn it off (other than ripping out random wires like car theives do on TV). If you have any ideas please please please help me! (I might also add that I don't have a manual for anything, and I don't even know what the "valet code" is). AAAAGGHHHHHHHH!!!! |

Kathy you need the remote. Somehow the alarm got armed, and not it doesn't like you.
Please don't just yank out the wires. That would be really bad, and would mess alot of things up.
I do have a sugestion for you. When a clifford alarm auto arms, it gives you 30 seconds to get in and start the car before it goes off. So next time make sure you start the car within 30 seconds, and it may help. Other than that find out the valet code from your dad, or find a remote. |

Hi there, I need some help with my Clifford Concept 300. The alarm remote fob has stopped working as of yesterday and I only have one remote. I have tried a different battery but it still won't work. I now have to lock the doors with the key and enter a valet code every time I wish to start the vehicle. I don't need the alarm, it was on when I bought the car, but it's just causing me problems. Is there an easy way that I can disable it or get the fob to start working again without taking it to a dealer? There is only one Clifford dealer near me and it's 10 miles away. Also, prior to the alarm remote breaking, the alarm seemed to be permanently stuck in silent mode. It's been like this since I bought the car and I've followed the instructions in the manual many times but can't get the thing to chirp. I can hear a very very silent siren sounding under the bonnet when I set the alarm off and the hazards flash as normal but I am unable to get the volume to increase. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

Sounds like the sire is bad. You can replace it yourself, or have the dealer do it. As for the remote, your kinda stuck. You can enter the valet code and leave it in valet mode (red light on at all time)(no flashing), or you can take it to the dealer. I would put it in valet mode, and take it in later. Heck the remote might not be totally bad. There was a model of clifford remotes that were bad about the sodder point on the battery comming loose, and it causing the remote to act up. It only took about 30 sec to fix once you had the soddering gun good and hot. So I doub't they will charge you much if that is it. As for a new remote, about 45 bucks cash, so you can expect about 25 pounds, or 30 euro. |

I have a Clifford 300, it was professionaly installed 5 years ago and has worked well ever since until last month. Now it refuses to chirp when I arm and disarm it. I have tried reprogramming via the vallet code entry but without the confirmation chirps it's impossible. I then managed to get Clifford Wizard for my laptop and a cable. Everthing looks ok on the user page, the chirp is set to loud. (Still no chirps). On the Diag page I can test the alarms etc but notice there is a button for single chirp, press and it does nothing.
Anyone got an idea on where the fault is? |

Roy press and hold the arm / disarm button till the alarm goes into panic mode. If the alarm still doesn't sound, check the fuse holders for curosion, and make sure the wires to the siren itself haven't been cut. If both look good the siren is probably bad. If you can, slave in a new one and see if that fixes it. |

Hi Jeremy - Yes the siren does work in panic mode. It also works fine if I arm and then open the door with a key. When I stop the siren, it gives 4 chirps for door entry. In vallet mode if I wait too long before pressing the vallet switch I get 3 clhirps. BUT- It won`t chirp 2 lock & 1 unlock.
Is there a rechargeable battery in the siren that may be dead? As it was a certified install do you think I could get a replacement under warranty?
Kind Regards |

Hello you guys, im having a BAD problem with my car. I got an Intelliguard 8000 and Intellistart 4 on it.. well what happened is that
When i left my car parked it was all normal. Later on that day, i tried opening it with the controller as usual and it seemed as if the alarm was dead. The LED light wasnt flashing, it wasnt recognizing the controller when i pressed to unlock. I had to open the car manually (with the Key), i tried to turn the car on and i coulnt turn it on.. Lights were working but the car just wouldnt turn on. I left the car, closed it and came back 2 hours. when i came back it was all working perfectly, i was able to turn it on, alarm was working, everything was good. I took the car to my mechanic, to see if this problem was related to the car, i was told that the problem would most likely come from the alarm system/Remote Start. The fuses were working properly and all. I hope one of you who knows more about this can help me out or if youve heard of something simliar like this... Please let me know by replying back on here, it would be of great help. Thanks

Roy, No thats not a problem with the siren, thats just the way the setings are. I would give it another try using the programing menue, and then take it by a delaer and ask them to do it for you real quick.
Pedro, you have a bad conection some where. Go thru with the alarm in valet mode, and shake the power wires till the light shuts off. It may be easer to do with a test light, but you get the picture. Once you find the area that causes the light to go out when you move the wire, you can take it in and get them to fix the wire for you. |

Hello,
Not sure if anyone can help, but here goes.
I 've recently bought back my old car off the person I sold it to, only to find that he has lost one of the remotes for the alarm. The alarm is a Cliford Concept 50 (UK) fitted in 1996. I would like to erase the remote that has been lost and program in another remote that I have spare.
I have the manual for the alarm, but it does not tell me how to carry this out. It only goes as far as telling me how to turn features 'on' or 'off' and that I need to go to a dealer to have any new remotes added. I don't really want to go to the dealer as I'm sure they will charge a handsome fee (original dealer has since gone out of business and the other has a bad reputation).
I have seen the manuals on the Clifford web site, but it is exactly the same as the one I have. It seems to be that it is possible to program the Concept 50x but not the Concept 50 (I did try those instructions), but why? I can even add remotes on the lesser Arrow II on my other car, but not on the Concept 50. ????
I think I have covered everything, thanks for reading. |

Dave, Yep man your right, its a conspiracy. You will have to let clifford install the remote. Honestly its probably just a software diffrence between the 50 and the x50 that let you add remotes yourself. But either way your kinda stuck.
They shouldn't charge you that much to remove the second remote. I would guess about 20 to 25 Pounds. If you don't want to spend that much just to have the remote removed. I would call around and see how much they will charge you to add another remote. I don't know if they can still get remotes for that model, but it would be worth a try, and will probably cost you about the same. (they should add it and remove the other for free with the purchase of a new remote) |

JeremyC, Thanks for the reply. Looks like I'll be phoning around some places.
Remotes are not a problem as I have 3 spare, I just wish I could have programmed them in myself. |

Hi, I have a Clifford ACE300 that seems to be somewhat fried. The remote works, and the doors lock, but the alarm never arms (the dash light blinks as though it's armed, but the horn makes no noises, and "tripping" the alarm causes nothing to happen). The parking lights and horn give no indication of arm/disarm, but I can hear a relay under the dash clicking the appropriate number of times. The light on the dash blinks when "armed", and the unit doesn't seem to be in valet mode, not to mention that the valet switch does not get any reaction. Also, the optional proximity display has no lights whatsoever (used to show levels of sensitivity).
Does anybody have any quick ideas for what I should be looking for?
Thanks! |

check the fuses, and make sure they aren't coroded. (fuse hoders too) Other than that, sounds like the brain is gone. |

Hi, I bought a Clifford 100 concept around 4 months ago with a hood/trunk pin and a back up battery. Recently my alarm has been going off lately for no apparent reason. After my alarm goes off, I will dis-arm my car and I would check my "LED light status" indicating 5 flashes,meaning the hood is being tampered with, but I've witnessed my alarm going off when no body is around my vehicle. I have taken my car back to the place I purchesed it over 4 times. They did install a new hood pin and it seemed to have worked for the 1st week but now again my alarm is going off tonight. Can somebody please help. This is too frustrating. I have tried everything, even turning down the sensitivity for any shock absorbent. I have read the some of the previous problems and I will ask the Car shop that I bought the alarm from to "check the trunk and hood pins for proper adjustment, and make sure there not coroded. After that look at the fuse holder a few inches down line from the battery terminal. If it looks coroded, or dirty, replace or clean it as required" but can anybody recomend any other recomendations. Thanks |
