jonst205 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Hi all, my alarm seems to be a bit over-sensitive - going off seemingly at random sometimes - at least a couple of times per day. Is there something that can be adjusted or can I try arming the alarm without the internal sensors to narrow it down (in case of a faulty sensor or spider crawling across it)? Nothing on the search.

ddcboyle Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I had same thing for a few days after i canfed my battery. Done it for 3days, going off randomly but has stopped for few weeks now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonst205 Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Hmm, have also changed my battery, but a couple of months ago now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonst205 Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Googling seems to suggest the bonnet closure sensor, so gonna try unplugging that in a moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Never heard mine yet... is it the horn or a seperate sound? More to the point how do I switch it off lol. My last car you just hit the unlock button on the fob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonst205 Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Separate sound, actually not all that loud on my 350. However I do want to sort the problem otherwise neither I nor my neighbours will bother looking out the window when it goes off. It's just an unlock on the fob to disable, again on my 350 vs. 370. Have unplugged the bonnet switch so we'll see if it makes any difference. The bonnet is actually a little looser than I would prefer so this might play into the same theory, as does the changing the battery (having simply opened the bonnet).

jonst205 Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Went off again this evening, so not the bonnet sensor - bugger. Does seem to be consistently 2-3 hours after a run that it goes off. Any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
