Hi all,
I'm having a bit of an issue with my car alarm going off seemingly at random. I would say it has happened four out of the last 7 nights, between 23.30 and 02.30. This is obviously really annoying as even once the chirping has stopped, the lights continue to flash for about another 15 minutes. SO I have to get up and stop it. Not to mention annoying the neighbours....
Now, I've recently (2-3 weeks ago) installed a JB4 which obviously required disconnecting the battery etc. So I'm wondering if I've knocked something here.
I have a few other ideas -
- The battery wasn't reconnected properly, and the cold is making the connections flaky (I found out the hard way that if you disconnect the battery with the doors locked, the alarm blasts. I've retightened the connections now.
- I've knocked some wiring underneath the passenger side dash, which might be where the wiring for the alarm is? I don't know
- My dashcam is set to be on all the time. This hasn't been a problem up until now, but I've disabled this for now in case it was draining the battery
- There's an insect of some sort in the car!
Any ideas? I really don't want to take it to a garage as I've got the JB4 installed now and it was a pain in the arse! Don't really want to have to take it off again in less than a month
Mk7.5 GTI PP (not that it probably matters)
Thanks people
