As title suggests, my alarm's full closure feature is not working. It was last week, nothing has been changed or touched since, I just noticed today that my windows and sunroof weren't closing. Any ideas? I don't know where to even begin with the alarm, don't even know where it's located! Alarm is a Laserline by the way, no idea on the model.

Mine was located behind the glovebox :wink:

But what do I do once I find the alarm box?

No idea :laugh:
All I can contribute is where it might be, sorry!

Cheers :afro:
Although I don't think it's behind glovebox. I didn't see anything non OEM when I removed the glovebox. I think it's by the fusebox...need to check.
-
Late mk3s have closure but its nothing to do with the alarm, have you checked if it works from the passenger side?
Check for broken wires in the A piller.
-
The closure works off the alarm, as soon as I lock the car with the bottom button it used to automatically close windows and sunroof.
-
Yeh the alarm will be tapped into the the cars closure system,
Have you tried the closure with the key in the door?
-
Good point, I've not tried it now. Does it work on the passenger side? Driver's lock is different from driver's key.
-
Yes it works both sides
-
Great, I'll try the passenger side and report back. I have a feeling it'll work though, if that's the case, what would be my next step? Checking the wiring on the alarm box?
-
I'm not 100% what wires are tapped into for the closure but have a look above the fusebox for the alarm box.
The alarm could be at fault as i'm sure its an aging system.
-
Ok, will try closure from passenger side and then take apart the dash until I find the box then see what's what. Ta muchly :afro:
-
I have closure on mine but for some reason it won't auto lock when driving along.
-
Ok tried closing it on passenger side and it worked. I was sat in teh car and locked it and it closed it via alarm. Couple of hours later not working again, so it's intermittent :sad:
-
Sounds like the alarm braking down, could be wrong though.
