I have a @02 3.2 Omega and the alarm goes off semi-randomly....most times it's about 15 mins after the lock and can be stopped by an "un-lock/lock", but also during a motorway journey, after stopping for a break I return to a mad car! The alarm is going and you cannot stop it. The Lock/un-lock has no effect. Once, It even made one chirp as I was doing 80 back on the motorway!
I have looked at the Forum and that points to the Ni-Cad batteries in the sounder....and yes, I do get occasionally a 4-chirp as I open the door (not when I set the Alarm) BUT i have opened the sounder and both 3.5v batteries are a healthy 4.2V giving over 8V in total. They can also deliver current as I can force the system to run the sounder of its internal battery.. HELP! Chris

Hi Chris, Id say plug it into diags to see what the sensors etc are doing

OK.....but always get nervous going into a Main Dealer for that sort of thing! Chris

So don't - use someone on here with Diag kit ;)

Thanks James. Thought diag kit was Dealers only. Will stop now and:
1: change batts anyway (found them for under £4 each)
2: saw you were LPG as well, and that made me think...my CPU takes some time to switch off, the alarm may detect a slight voltage rise and that may trigger.....?
3: Find a friendly diag person.
ps, your web-site gives no indication of your general location! North, South, East or West!!
