Does your 405 have a button on the side of the steering column to disable
the alarm? If so you might be able to get round it. But again you really
need two keys. Might be worth getting a plain copy made of the key by any
locksmith, hardware store or motor supply place which also cuts keys.
This you can then use in the lock to open the door.OK this will make the
alarm sound I know.
You then switch on the ignition switch whilst depressing the alarm button.
This will cancel the alarm and allow you to start the engine. This must be
done within 10 seconds of opening the door.
This came from the Haynes manual for a '93 306, but I am sure it also worked
for my '93 405. (Now gone to the big scrapyard in the sky).
Hope it works for you.

Apologies for changing your gender. I assume that Lee is a forename and,
if so, I should be ashamed of myself, because my daughter's second name is
Lee (my wife liked the actress Lee Remick). Post back and let us know
how you get on.

The sterring column button only disables the ultrasonic alarm inside the
car. The only way to turn off the alarm is the keyswitch under the bonnet.

lol no problem Keith on the gender change, its times like this i wish i was a
man and the Lee is short version of my name which is to distinctive to use as
a sign on name as its not a common name at all.

the chap who said about pressing the button on side of steering column, it
won't work when my alarm goes off it sets off the imobliser so the engine
would not start. so i'm gonna try to get it resoldered and see if that helps
failing that will have to do what you guys said and order a new one.

will disable the immobiliser part of the alarm too.
It has to be done in the correct way. I do not have the key for the switch
under the bonnet on the 306, and so whenever I have to disconnect the
battery, I have to go through the above process before I can start the
engine, as the alarm resets when the battery is connected again. The key fob
drains its batteries so quickly (known fault on these) that it isn't worth
putting new batteries in just for this.
However, it seems it doesn't work on the 405 in question.

Sorry to hear of your problems here. I have a 405 saloon L reg, and
think its the business. My fob button recently stopped working (button
wore out), and so I took it apart, disarmed the car by shorting the
pin terminals under the button, and just use the key without the alarm
(I also got another successfully cut by a standard key smith). If you
open and shut the doors just using the key, the alarm is not activated
but central locking works..I will fix a new button to the fob
eventually and reuse the alarm.

Richard my friend looked at the PCB board and he said that the joints look
fine, but one of the metal bits near a hole look worn down to almost the
green board underneath, so looks like i may have to fork out for new fob,,
doh!!
