Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has the instructions to re-program a remote keyless entry keychain for a CLifford car alarm system. The model of the keychain is AT-904020.
I don't know the model of the alarm system, but if someone can tell me where to find it I can look.
Thank in advance,
Lori |

Ok I am going to try to help you all out in one post. Find your local cliford dealer, and ask them what they would charge to check over your alarm, and then to honor clifords life time waranty. If you purchase a cliford alarm yourself, or pay a licensed dealer to do the install, the alarm is warantied for life. Let me go into some more detail on the waranty. It covers, the alarm, the remotes, heck the place I deal with replaces the remote bateries for free.
Shah, If your alarm is a newer one they can plug it into a computer, and look at what caused the last 10 times the alarm went off. Making it very easy find the problem. (befor you go check the trunk, and hood pins) They are the normal cause of false alarms. If they are wet, dirty, or not adjusted right, they can cause lots of false alarms. One more thing to check, the power wire should have a fuse a few inches down from the battery. Pull the fuse out and make sure the terminals aren't corroded. If they are, have someone replace the fuse holder.
Mal and the, I sugest you try to get on the warenty if you can. If you decide not to, look under the dash on the drivers side. The brain should be there. If it isn't got to the baterry and find the fuse holder I was talking about in the para befor. Follow the wire to the point it enters the firewall. Have someone inside the car look as you (gentally) shake and move the wire. Once you find it on the inside follow it to the brains. Once you find the brain, look for some #s Like 500IQ, 7000IQ, or so on. They should be pretty big, but the box is black so you will need a flash light. Once you get the number, check for a product manual on the site.
One more thing to remember, and another reason I sugest you get on the waranty. All most all clifford alarms use a coded valet switch. In order to axcess any of the programing menues, (add remotes) (take advantage of all the config options) You have to have this code. The default is listed in the manual for each series alarm. However if the last owner changed it, the only way to reset it is to have a clifford dealer hook the brain up to their computer.
I hope the rest of your experiance with cliford is better. I have owned 3 and my dad has had 2. I have never had a problem, and have found clifford dealers to be very helpfull. |

We have just purchased a used vehicle from a Mazda dealer and it has a Clifford alarm system. It has two remotes and only one ? "magnet" - which is needed to start the vehicle. Problem -- if the keys, with the magnet on them get lost, we cannot start the car. We have checked locally and no one knows anything about this system. Where in Canada is there a dealer who can help us? |

Ravi Sounds like a trunk or hood pin is shorted to ground. Count the # of chirps and look in the manual. It should give a break down of what the chirps mean. I would check the inline fuse block for corosion, and make sure the hood and trunk pins are clean and properly adjusted. |

Hi,
just got a new car with clifford remote entry. Left my lights on and the battery died. When I got it running again the remote would not open the car. I don't know what modle the alarm is, the remote is a rectangle, has two buttons ( I,II), and says clifford across bottom. It looks older than any off the pictures on you site. Any help? |

Try this. Disconect the ground side of the battery. Leave it unhooked for a min and then reconect it. Right after you reconnect it press the lock/unlock button on your remote. You should here a few beeps after the alarm picks up the remote signal. If you have two remotes just press one, wait a sec and press the other. If this doesn't work you will have to find what model it is, and check the web site for the manual. |

Doug I didn't forget about you. I haven't been able to find it. I would talk to a dealer that has carried clifford for a while. Sine clifford has a life time warranty I am sure they will know were to get a wire diagram. |

Yes it should. I have never paid to have repair work done on a clifford alarm. I put a link a few post ago to find clifford dealers. Check out your area, and give another clifford dealer a call. Tell them what is going on. I say to do this just so you are sure all Clifford alarms have the same waranty. I would almost bet my life they do, but it is always good to check. If you in fact are suppost to get repair work for free, email clifford and report the guy to them. I would even hit him up about it. If he is doing this to you, he is probably doing it to many people, and needs to be reported to the Better busness burrow, and to clifford. |

Just purchased a '99 Yukon with a Clifford alarm. I haven't been able to figure the whole thing out yet but wanted to ask if a Clifford with a remote start might have some kind of fuel cut off or engine kill as part of the security system. Truck will shut off while driving down the road. The alarm also used to chirp when armed and disarmed but all of the sudden it doesn't do that anymore??? |

i bought a car with a clifford alarm, from looking at the clifford web sight i think it's an eagle II , i can not start my car and i think it has something to do with the alarm because the blower fan is not operable for the heater, nor is the electric fuel pump. i would like to try to disarm the entire system to see if it is the alarm system, ant sugestions??? |

Debault All clifords have a 2 or 3 point shut off. So yes it is the probably the alarm causing it. If the alarm is going off when it shuts down it could be what clifford calls black jack. It is an anti car jacking technology clifford has. It requires you to put your vallet code in every time you start the car. I would get the manual and see if you can turn it off. If the problem still doesn't stop take it in and try to get a waranty put on the alarm under your name. So if there is a problem with the brain you can get it replaced. As for the chirp, you might have put it in vallet mode. If the red light is always on and it isn't killing the engine every time you start it then both of my theories are correct. Get a manual and turn the black jack off and take it out of vallet mode, and you will be good to go.
Larry I don't know much about the eagle two but I will guess the alarm is causing it. Since you know what it is (thank you) get the manual and put it in vallet mode. Red light will stay on, and see if it will start then. If it won't go into vallet mode or still won't start once it is. Then you will need to take it in and have a clifford dealer work on it. I will again sugest you try to get a waranty under your name. You may never need it, but it is always nice to have that peice of mind. |

INFO FOR ALL, When i speak of the light that comes on when you put the vehical in vallet mode. I all most always say red. Most of the new clifford alarms use blue since, it is easer to see at night from a distance. So if I tell you red and you see a blue light, don't worry, your looking at the right thing. |

I recently purchased a Suburban with a Clifford intelligard 700IQ alarm. I did not get any fobs with the car. Due to where I live/drive, I seldom lock my car, let alone use/need an alarm and was going to remove it. There are two black boxes, one under the dash, one under the drivers seat. Can I just disconnect all wires associated with the alarm? When an alarm of this type is installed are wires just spliced in, or are any of them cut and run through the alarm to provide a disable feature? |

I have a 95 Integra, and I'm trying to figure out what it is to see what all the functions are. I think it is a Clifford, it Says "PRIME" on it , ands the 4 buttons are : Lock, Unlock, Start, and #. It used to beep once for lonck and 2 for unlock, now it is beeping 3 times for unlock and is activating an impact sensor cuz it beeps now if i bump it. I have figured out that holding down unlock opens my trunk. My car started randomly beeping today so i had to leave the alarm off. I tried to find a local dealer, but I'm from Canada so the 5-digit zip-code dealer locater doesn't work, we have 6 digits in our postal codes which are numbers and letters. Any Info would be greatly appreciated, thanks |

I have just bought a used 93 civic SI and the car came with a Clifford alarm. I have no clue what model the alarm is but the remote has two buttons only with a red light and Clifford written across the bottom..guess it must be an older model..Anyways, my problem is that the interior light which is supposed to blink when armed stays a solid red!! I cannot arm my car nor lock the door which makes my car very vunerable to theft. I have tried disconnecting the negative terminal from my battery and then reconnecting it but that doesn't solve the problem. Do I have a blown fuse? Is there a way to reset the alarm back to normal? Please help. I want to avoid bringing the car to a shop because of the fees..I'm also from Toronto and cannot find any dealers through the site nor a customer service telephone number. Thanks again.. |

TAKE THE ALARM OUT OF VALET
TURN ON THE IGNITION
FIND THE LITTLE BLACK BUTTON UNDER YOUR DASH SOMEWHERE
PRESS THE BUTTON WITHIN 5 SECONDS OF TURNING ON THE IGNITION
AND THE LED SHOULD BE OFF
THEN TRY TO ARM TME VEHICLE |

Anonymous unless you follow all the wires and carefully disconnect them were they are connected. I would not do it. The 700iq has a built in ignition cut off. If you don't reconect all the wires it splices into, you will run into problems. If you are carefull and have a sodering gun it is possiable. Just be sure to take your time and follow every wire. |

I live in Canada, and i recently bought a 1991 honda prelude with a clifford alarm. It only came with one key chain thing, and i would like another in case of emergencies, how would i go about getting one? I went into a local electronics store (a&b sound) but they weren't any help, and the website is only for the USA or the UK..... any answers?

Jeremy,
Thanks for your response to anonymous, I found the ignition wire that went through the alarm, and reconnected it together as well as tracing the wires back though an disconnecting them as well. Does anyone need this 700 IQ for parts? I'm keeping the relays, but I have the control box, shock sensor and harness that are up for grabs. Email me at dhalicki@smcusa.com First one gets it. |

goony find out what model it is and call some car srereo shops in the states. You should be able to find one that will mail you a remote. Be sure you know what model the alarm is, not all of their remotes are compatable. |

My Clifford Intelliguard 900 with Blackjax completely died about a year ago. One day it was working fine, then the next it was dead. The remotes did not work (either of them), and the valet switch did not work either (no light, blinking or solid). What could be causing this problem? Assuming the clifford computer is ok, could this be a fuse problem? Where is the fuse located on the Intelliguard 900? Any other fuses that affect this? No dealers nearby that will service.
Also, where can you get replacement remotes (should I get this working again)? Thanks in advance... |

Remotes you would have to get from a dealer. As for the alarm it sounds like the power wire, fuse, or the brain. Open your hood and see if there is any extra wires atatched to the battery. Should have a black wire comming off of the positive with 2 fuse holders about 6 to 12 inches down line. Those should be the fuses to your alarm. If you do not see them there find the brain and start folowing wires. Might take a while but you get the idea. Once you locate the fuse blocks check the fuses and the conectors. If the conectors are coroded or the fuses are blown replace as required. If both are fine follow the power wires to the brain and make sure you are getting power. A volt metet or test light will work perfect for this. Just make sure to have a good ground. If you aren't sure shoot something else that you know you have power to. If it isn't a power issue then it is the brain. I would try to find your closest clifford dealer and give them a call. |

I had a Clifford Cyber 4 installed in 01/02. It worked great up till now. Two days ago the sound went out. No Siren and No chirp but the rest of the alarm works. One person said it was the ground and another person said the brain died. If anyone knows what the problem is please email me. tazperez@juno.com |

If everything else is working, it probably isn't the brain. I would take a look at the fuse holder. Its probably coroded. Look on the positive terminal of your battery, and you will see two fuse holders about 6 inches down line. Take the fuses out one at a time, and see if there is any corosion. If they are then either replace the fuse holders, or take the alarm to a clifford dealer. They should do it for free. If that isn't the problem then the siren might have went out. Just take it by the place that installed it, and they should fix what ever it is for free. |

Ok, I found an inline fuse under the dash that had a 20 amp fuse. Very hard to get to with both hands, but I finally got the new fuse in and it works! My Intelliguard 900 is back in business.
Now the problem I have is that I bought a remote that is supposed to work on an intelliguard 700, and I surmised would work with my 900. I could not program it into the system. I have had this problem before. The FCC ID on the back is exactly the same number, CZ57RRTX12R as the old one, and when I broke open my old and the new remote, the circuit boards looked identical, execpt for a small square black chip that had 39AR on the new one, and 37AL on the old one. The newer remote is slimmer, and has a recessed Blue-Green(flat) main button, the old remote's button is more rounded and grey (the whole remote is grey). Why do I have so much trouble with these remotes that appear to be the same? The new remote has a small white sticker with 60-372 on it. Thanks!

What is the difference between the Intelliguard 900 and the Intelliguard 900-IQ? Are the remotes different or compatible? If the remotes are incompatible, how would you tell the difference? |

I fixed the problem with the remote. It did work, just required a certain way of programming. The Remote for a 700 works on a 900 Intelliguard. A question I have is if the FCC ID matches, in regards to Clifford, does that mean that it is compatible, or is there more to it? |

Hi I recently purchased a clifford 650 system.
I had it installed by a professional fitter, when demonstrating it worked fine. I got it home, activated the turbo timer, got out of the vehicle locked it via the remote and walked away. I came back an hour later, disarmed the sytem but my door locks would not work. so i had to lock it manually. The next morning it worked fine. After an hours drive the same problem again with not locking the doors. Any assistance would be grateful. The duel zone proximetry system also does not seem to work.
Any assistance is gratefully appreciated.

sounds like you have a ford and the locks are going into sleep mode.
if so, take it back to the installer, they missed something. |

sounds like you may need to get it re-coded(make alarm talk to the remote) to the alarm. take it to a clifford installer, they "should" do it for free. if they can't code it to your alarm, hey, your already there and can get a new one.

The brain is acting up. For some reason it won't let you arm or disarm the car once the alarm arms itself. Alot of clifford alarm have an auto arming feature, and it sounds like that is what is going on here. I would take it to a clifford dealer and have them hook it up to their computer. For now I would put it into valet mode. Look on the web site and download the manual. It will tell you how. |

HELP
I have a Clifford IntelliGuard IQ-(?00)
I want to program my garage door opener into the remote.
The instructions talk about using Transmitting channel numbers 4 - 8 to "activate optional accessory function #1-5".
It speaks about garage door openers specifically.
The problem - how do I program the remote?
The manual and website only speak about programming the User-selectable features, none of which include programming channels 4-9.
Any ideas? |
