If the buttons are being ignored on the keypad completely, it sounds like its missing its ignition feed, as if you (with a keypad car) press any buttons on it with the ignition off nothing happens (no beeps etc) at all.

The slow flashing red light is normal to indicate its armed.

Although it may sound silly, check you have actually put all the leads back you have disturbed, if you have a positive supply box near the heavy main positive lead check that too.

Might be the main (or one of them, I'm not 100% familiar with this model) earth leads.

I can tell you once on a 406 I forgot to put one of the earth leads back after a clutch change

, and that behaved in a similar manner...

It's worth double checking them all, as the only 'cost' is time
