I’d like the wiring diagram too please. As above, mine is working fine at the moment but I only have one active fob. I’m also based in the US so finding an expert could be tricky!

I don't have a diagram as such just a list of the wire colours and what they were on my car.
1 or two I was unsure on but all the major ones are there.
Email me and I will forward them on.

You can have up to 4 two button remotes synced to a Foxguard alarm, Bridgewater Electronics (Collin) still sell them.

Adding them on is simple a DIY job.

Just last week I had my foxguard checked over by bridgewater electronics. I was told it was faulty by a central specialist but bridgewater told me everything works correctly in the alarm unit. Had an original key fob remote repaired so now have 2 working originals. The main unit had an upgrade fitted within. Colin and Gareth, both good fellas to speak to. Advice was to check the vehicle wiring, firstly all plug connections and then continuity if problems still persist.

These alarm units really are very good, but they are very sensitive to poor supply/earth.

If the alarm is not wired to work on voltage drop I would run a fused live and earth direct to the battery, eyelets on the battery nuts, solder at the other end.

Switch clean the 10/14 way multi plugs and join the loom close to the alarm plugs.

Make sure there isn't a valet keysitch plugged into the black socket, if there is do away with it.

I’ve had a few random wire issues but I seem to be on top of those now. Today was test time with the alarm unit plugged in with a fresh battery and success. Alarm immobiliser circuits working correctly now with the engine firing up without bypassing the immobilised circuits smile
