IanLivy Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Hi folks - my bloody alarm is going off every 20mins or so - and I really need to get a good nights sleep - probably a dodgy sensor or huge spider I dunno! - any way of switching it off?

sasha@lazytrips Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 disconnect the fuse if you can find the right one. Otherwise would disconnecting the battery do the trick? Are your windows shut properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanLivy Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 Cheers - will have a look next time it goes off - if I leave it unlocked does it lock itself automatically after a few mins? Worth a try I guess - if someone steals it in the meant time it can wake them up all night for all I care right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasha@lazytrips Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 It doesn't automatically lock itself - at least mine doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStrong Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 When i had a toyota celica the alarm would go off constantly and it turned out to be because a silver penny in the drinks holder was upsetting the alarm solenoid. Give the interior a clearout maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tez162003 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 My car locked itself. With the key on the seat! Lucky I was at home and grabbed the spare, sorry to hijack but anyone know why some say they have and some dont? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo Vix Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Mine kept doing this last week, only for one night though, I locked it with the key directly rather than the button just for that night and its been fine since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanLivy Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 good plan - just checked and it's still unlocked so no auto-lock on mine - didn't realise locking with the key makes a difference will try that if it keeps going off - although maybe the heat has killed the suspect giant spider that was setting it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
