Problems with the alarm system and low battery when starting in Renault Modus 2005

Hello, I have little experience with cars, but I had a similar problem with my 2003 Renault Clio. It turned out that the basic module was defective. The symptoms were similar - the alarm system was having problems and the battery was often low. I then took my Clio to my local garage and the guys there sorted it for me. As I'm not very technically minded, I relied on them and it seems they did a good job! The repair did cost 465 euros though, which was a bit of a mouthful for me. To give you more details, it would be helpful if I knew more about your car. Is it a diesel or a gasoline engine? And what exact version (engine, equipment, etc.)? I'm glad I could help and hope you get your problem under control soon!

Hey, thanks for your reply! Cool that you had a similar problem with your Clio. My Modus is a gasoline engine, and it already has 31927 km behind it. My last inspection was only recently, and apparently nothing abnormal was discovered. I'll probably go to my regular garage and have the guys take a look. 465.0€ sounds tough, but what can you do, the main thing is that the car runs again. Thanks for your support!

Hi, you're welcome! A good tip I can give you is to describe your problem in detail when you go to the garage. This helped a lot with my Clio and the guys there were able to find the problem more quickly. Also make sure that you have the fault memory read out. With just over 30,000 kilometers, your Modus should still be in good shape. Yes, the repair is expensive, but certainly worth the investment when you consider how annoying it is when the alarm system is constantly going off or when the battery is constantly low. Maybe you'll be lucky and it's just a minor issue that's easy to fix. In any case, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and hope that your Modus is back in shape quickly! Stay healthy and let me know if you need any more information!

Hey, thanks for the tip too. You're right, a precise description can really help to find the problem more quickly. I'll also ask the guys about reading the fault memory. Hopefully it really is just a minor issue, that would be nice. Thanks again, you've helped me a lot! Stay healthy too!

Hi I have a modus year 2004 and it happened that it drained the battery so I started it with the cables, walked it a little bit then put it on charge when it finished charging I tried to start it but it won't start anymore even with the cables like it doesn't get diesel fuel to it. Is it possible that some kind of immobilizer is engaged that doesn't get diesel to it.What could be the problem?

Hello, If the immobilizer no longer works, your car should not start even if you bypass it with another car. Have you ever measured the battery voltage during the starting process? It sounds to me more like the battery is faulty.
