Alarm Problem

Post by Marbeck64 » Fri Mar 16, 2018 10:20 pm

Hi All,
I have looked into the alarm problems on this forum and I am now looking at booking it in to the dealer. I have disconnected the bonnet sensor but alarm is still going off. What I need to know is can the alarm be disabled by removing a fuse or another way. I still need the car to lock but can live with no alarm for a few days.
Cheers

Don't know about fuses but you could disconnect the battery overnight. You never know it might reset the problem.... Just a thought..

Do you have anything metallic behind the seats.
I put a car jack behind the drivers seat and the alarm would go off until i removed it.
