Alarm problem

paulmariner · 10th January 2013, 17:55

The alarm is going off intermittently. No apparent reason for it so is this an easy fix or what? Thanks.

I suspect that the bonnet sensor is setting off the alarm. Best thing to do is to lower the two rubbers mounts, and then close bonnet, if that does not resolve it, check the sensor has not come away from the rubber seal, if it has I suspect that it will be wet, and therefore setting off the alarm

Thanks for that stu, sounds like a plan I'll check it tomorrow.

Also, where do I find the bonnet sensor?

Does the horn beep when you lock the car?

Dissy,

No the horn doesn't sound.

Very strange. It seems (touch wood) that's its stopped!
I fiddled with boot sensor by adjusting the springs and now it seems to have stopped although for the first couple of days it did go off intermittently

, so...
Thanks for advice guys
