HOW DO I RESET MY ALARM SYSTEM ON A 94 E36 - 1994 BMW 3 Series

Have you tried unlocking the drivers door with the key? This is a common way to re-set a factory alarm system. If you have an aftermarket alarm there is often a small toggle switch mounted under the drivers side steering column.

Where ever they mounted it, hard to say. Get under the dash on the drivers side and look for black box that looks out of place.

We do not have any diagrams. Sorry

Your cars Alarm/disabler is on. It's an anti theft device built into CPU. You need BMW or a competent specialty shop to look at it.

assuming you dont have a remote and your key is good you can lock all the doors then unlock driver door with key should reset alarm system

Wow this I recently delt with, there is a weird way to reset what bmw calls the lockdown mode or something like that, you use the key in the passeger door in a certain way. find a shop with michell1 or call the dealer and they should be able to tell you. but this is only if you particular car has entered this manuel lockdown mode. I found this strange as the bmw i was dealing with according to mitchell1 actually manually takes the door lock linkage apart in the lock assembly so that the alarm computer must be reset for the locks to function even manually!!

Find out the alarm manufacturer And get the solution for a reset. Or find its location and disable it for now....then try to start it you should be able to if its the alarm disabling the starting system. Is there any indication of the alarm working? a blinking? If so...I would say alarm issue....Hope I helped!

security systems simply get between the key and the engine. The wire that is your engine run circuit is cut and and rerouted through the alarm module. Find this alarm module, find the two wires that have the same color code that are spliced into the two wires off the nodule. At this point, Do'nt cut them, jump them to each other and see if it will start. Alarm systems work on the time,pressure theory. In truth , the alarn wiring is stpid and simple. The secret is to put pressure on the thief by limiting the time he has to locate the wiring and bypass it by making alot of noise and flashing lights. Take your time and you can find and figure out which wires were cut and soliced into the module. If you have any questions, let me know.@ [email protected].

On a 1998 3 series (E36) BMW, this indicator lamp is for the ASC+T = automatic stability control plus traction. It should go shortly after the ignition is switched on implying that the system is OK.
If the indicator lamp fails to go out after the engine is started, or comes on in the course of normal vehicle operation it means that the system has malfunctioned. The vehicle remains operational, but without ASC+T. You a have an 2001 3 series (E46), but I suspect the indicator lamp means the same as the E36 3 series. Look in owners manual under "indicator lamps"

You car should have a harnas already installed. Sigma and stellar alarms are easy to fit according to pro's. visit bmw e36 blog for more details.
