Renault Wind Anti-Theft Alarm Error

I had something similar happen with my Wind, although I can't remember the exact error code. Does your alarm seem to be coded to activate the optical locking, like, does it try to flash the indicators when it arms/disarms?

Optical locking? Hmmm, I'm not sure what you mean. You mean, when I lock or unlock the car, should the lights flash? I think they used to, but I can't remember now that the alarm is totally dead. How would I check?

Yes, exactly. If it's trying to flash the indicators and failing, it could be related. In my case, it was a coding issue related to that. Honestly, I'd recommend taking it to a workshop with someone who knows Renaults well; it could save you a lot of headache. They should be able to diagnose it pretty quickly. I remember the mechanic telling me it was like 45€ to fix.

Thanks so much for the tip! I had no idea where to even start, but this gives me something to go on. I'll take it to a mechanic and mention the optical locking thing. Hopefully, it's something simple like that! Really appreciate the help!
