With an aftermarket alarm/immobiliser methinks. Shoulda looked closer at HairyG's first post, post search didn't show the pic.

I blame the violence inherent in the system. And some dodgy wiring.

HairyG, sounds there's an alarm in there somewhere, possibly under the dash pocket. It'll have its own fuses so you need to find those first, and check all the wiring where it's spliced into the loom.

Poor Shed

I see the problem now. It's got just-left-the-scooter-rally-but-can't-be-arZed-to-ride-all-the-way-home condenser syndrome.

Immobiliser light blinks rapidly for a minute, then pauses. Then count the blinks and it will give a diagnostic code.

[rapid flashing] pause [blink] pause [blink] [blink] (it will then repeat the code) would be code 12
