If you still need help with this, please provide info on Alarm

 

 

Brand, Model Number, etc., as it likely is not Factory

 

 

 

Customer replied 974 days and 11 hours ago.

I believe it is factory!

Expert:  MOLurch replied 974 days and 11 hours ago.

 

My manual or info does not show "Factory Alarm" available for 1990
There were some Dealer installed, but most were Aftermarket
If it is a Horn sound, then it may be Dealer
If it is Siren sound then it is Aftermarket

 

 

Customer replied 974 days and 11 hours ago.

Molurch, I jut purchased xj6 never heard alarm; so hard to tell which it may be. any other clues? also do you think alarm system may have shut car down and not allowing it to start?

Expert:  MOLurch replied 974 days and 10 hours ago.

 

Lets check to see if there is an Alarm first:

Ignition On
Roll down Driver Window
Ignition Off
Lock Doors with Door Panel Switch or Door Key
Be sure Hood, Trunk & all Doors are closed & locked
Wait for apprx 2 minutes
Reach in thru Driver Window & "Manually" (not door panel switch) Unlock Door from inside
Open Door

Does Horn, Siren or Lights flash??

 

 

 

Customer replied 974 days and 10 hours ago.

Lights are flashing

Expert:  MOLurch replied 974 days and 9 hours ago.

 

Just Lights?

When the Door is Unlocked with the Key, do they shut off??

hello........

 

Just Lights?

When the Door is Unlocked with the Key, do they shut off??

Customer replied 974 days and 7 hours ago.

lights do not shut off when door is unlocked by key. lights only stop when key in ignition;however car will not turn over.

Expert:  MOLurch replied 974 days and 7 hours ago.

 

>>however car will not turn over. <<

 

Do you mean engine will not "CRANK"?
OR
Engine will not "RUN"??

 

 

 

Customer replied 974 days and 7 hours ago.

engine will "crank" but not "run"

If engine is cranking & does not run, then it does not sound like Alarm issue

I also noticed you had a question with Richard.
He suggested checking the Crank Sensor & Main Relay.
That would be the first thing to do
