Alarm Problem
« on: March 31, 2007, 16:49:06 »
My car has started misbehaving today.  The alarm is going off.  It starts a few minutes after I lock the car (either with the remote or using the key).  The alarm sounds for 30 seconds or so and then stops, but then it does it again after another a few minutes and the stops again....
It's a 1995 model with a single button remote.  Has anyone got any ideas where I should start loooking?

Might be the bonnet sensor switch, got me looking round for ages before I found it had broken

Do you have the little key to switch the alarm off?

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

I wasn't aware that there should be "a little key" I have pulled the appropriate fuse and locked each door individually for now

Mine has a round key like some steering lock bars use, and there is a location for it on the back of the alarm box itself
