ongoing alarm problems linked?
« on: 14 May 2010, 13:00:58 »
Back during Christmas I reported a fault with alarm going off usually during the night around 2am!
It was not the sounder(removed) and even with internal sensors switched off it still happened but a month later after a long trip to Kent and back the alarm started working fine no problems :-?
All has been fine since another long trip on holiday at which point we arrived home and the alarm started going off again but this time within a minute of locking car.
Further to this about 2 weeks ago the driver lock solenoid won't work on central locking and has to now be done manually, but the alarm does not false alarm.

Could these be related? because so far nothing at all seems to of been the reason for the alarm fault

Ok, you need to get a diagnostic test done on the alarm system then to see what is triggering it, as you have tried the obvious/usual culprits already

As stated then, you need the alarm codes read off then to pinpoint the fault. If ever you get my way (Dudley) then I could do it for you. :y

I'm taking it that these codes only come up on a proper tester? not the pedal trick?

Yes, pedal trick only shows engine codes.
