Title: Alarm madness!!!
Post by: tomjoruk2013 on 10 December 2013, 10:46

Does anyone know how to either disable the alarm? Or lock the doors without setting the alarm?

I've cable tied up the rear washer jet, but I think the frost was setting it off last night at 2am!

I'm starting to lose my mind!

Thanks

A low battery can cause the alarm to keep going off.

Why would that make a difference to the alarm system?

it reads the voltage going through the alarm if a connect has been lost it will start it off

seen this on house alarms many a times

Press the button on the drivers side b pillar before getting out the car then when you lock it doesn't arm the alarm. Simples.

Not entirely true, that disables the interior monitoring, not the entire alarm.
