Thanks very much - I will investigate. Any idea which colour wire would produce these symptoms - no red flashing LED or reprogramming mode?

As i have said, my little red LED light never comes on, even when the car is just locked normally with the working remote fob. I thought that the LED normally flashes every few seconds to indicate that the alarm is set?

The reason I do not think it is the key is that the little red light in the drivers door never comes on, even when the car is locked using the other "good" key. I think the alarm is working because the dog has set it off once or twice when it was inside the locked car.. Can anyone think why the little red light is not working? Is it because a previous owner has deactivated the key programming mode?

What I cannot understand is why the little red door light always fails to come on. It does not come on when I try reprogramming and as the trigger is mechanical (three turns of the key) this makes me think the fault is not with the key. Neither does the light come on when I use the other working key to central lock and alarm the car.

I have recently bought a Nov 2004 Galaxy which came with two remote keys. One works fine. The other flashes red but does not work remotely. It does work if used in the "old fashioned way". I tried to reprogram the second key following the instructions in this forum. However, the small red LED light in the drivers door does not come on at all. I think in this instance this means that the car is not going into "programming mode". So far as I can tell the alarm and cerntal locking features are working OK with the other key or if the duff key is used mechanically, even if this light does not illuminate. Should I be worried about this light not working? How can I reprogram the second key in the absence of the car going into programming mode? Any help much appreciated
