Clifford 300 problem - help.
My GF's Clifford 300 seems to have fecked up. The alarm started going off yesterday for no reason, but its been locked away for past week. Fob wouldn't turn it off, and car is delocked so was a bit snookered, but managed to disconnect battery.
Thought it was due to low battery so just managed to blag a new free one from Halfords (Dont ask ), and tried that - still no joy. Alarm keeps going off, on, off etc when I reconnect the battery.
Any ideas?

It's the fob I think. Managed to get it working by taking the cover off the fob again and pressing buttons then. I think the cover is ineterfering somehow with the battery connections.
I will fiddle about a bit, and if I get no joy will try my local Clifford dealer.

you can usually pick up replacement fobs for clifford alarms on e-bay for under £20, i got myself a secomd one from there.
do you have the valet code to program your alarm?
i read in the manual that its called smart power up, so thieves can't steal your car by disconnecting the battery. you really need to see a manual to work out how to bypass it.
