Alarm
 
Hello all sorry to bother you all again.. I have a problem with the alarm. When I lock up all works but after about 5 min the alarm goes off i reset it but it goes off again
is there any way to reset the alarm.... all doors boot and bonnet are secure when this happens thankyou

Could easily be one of your door or bonnet sensors teetering on the edge of being on or off. Might need a slight adjustment of the strikers.

I have taken the battery off to charge but am going to adjust the rubber shoppers now

Hi Graham, have you looked at the bonnet switch on the slam panel:shrug: With all the rain you've had, it may have become a little damp;)

The switch is my next port of call after work today thanks Ron

when you're driving look for the open bonnet warning light coming on momentarily, that's all it'll take to set the alarm off, happens to mine when I splash through too many puddles

Yep warning light on all the way home from work is there any way I can take the switch off or bypass it until I get a new one I need my car for work thanks

Spray it with WD 40.

That can often stop the water from getting in to it.--:}

my guess is that it's a push to break switch, so just disconnecting it should trick the car into thinking the bonnet is permanently closed, I "fixed" mine by putting a few thick layer of duct tape on the striking plate where it meets the bonnet so that it depresses the switch further

Took the bonnet switch off and cleaned it but still didn't work, so as it was late I just left the car unlocked. Went out this morning for work and tried locking/unlocking the car off the fob and it worked perfect and is still working ok now :confused:
