Desperate alarm help!!
« on: 21 April 2014, 11:29 »
Need urgent help!!

Every time I lock the car the alarm goes off :shocked:

Having to leave it unlocked is not ideal :angry:

Any ideas?? I've searched on here but nothing along the same lines!?

theres a button to the right of the drivers seat (low down near the door puddle light) that deactivates the microwave sensors , try that ?

Pretty sure it's been missing for a while now and locking/alarm has been fine.

Thanks for the suggestions though :wink:

could be to do with door lock modules maybe. Do the puddle lights work ? buzzer sounds when lights left on and door opens ?

The sensor on mine was knackered one of the motion sensors so disconnected the wire
