seatkid Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) First port of call should be to check the wiring in the door rubber gaitors. Look at FAQs 31,43,and 44 for pictorial guides to inspecting and fixing broken wires in the gaitors. Also check all the door light switches are working correctly and the bonnet and tailgate are closed properly as these are linked to the alarm system. If your car has internal ultrasonic movement sensors (there are mounted at the top of the B pillars) you can disable internal monitoring by locking the car with the key in the lock, followed by a 2nd turn to the lock position after a second or two. The indicators will flash twice (IIRC) to show that deadlocks and internal alarm is disabled. Think you can do a similar thing with the remote fob. I'm not sure if it disables the main alarm, it may do. Edited October 17, 2011 by seatkid Quote
