Trying to make my mind up if the 2 symptoms with TBE - alarm triggers and drivers seat intermittently non functional - are due to same fault.

Although noticed at the same time, I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that they are unrelated now...
But decided its totally irrelevant, following another alarm trigger, so I was outside moving cars and disconnecting batteries during Storm Christoph.  I think its that time  :'(

She likes it though. And nothing else seems to fit the bill.

If LPG was still available anywhere sensible, I'd definitely persevere.

Have you tried disarming the passive sensor  :-\  or is it definitely door related.

The alarm looks to be door related, *IF* the trigger codes in the alarm ECU can be trusted.

Seat issues, next step is seat out to measure what is getting to the seat (seat is currently too low to be about to undo the connectors at the side).  Though as the seat is in a usable position for her, its not a priority.
