Alarm bonnet sensor

[sprainedmind]

Apparently this might be the cause of the false alarms I'm getting at the mo. Is there a how-to for disconnecting it around, so I can see if that fixes it?

TIA

it's obvious when you see it, just short the sensor iirc

I'm always wary of my ability to miss the bleedin' obvious. Is there a pic or schematic anywhere so I at least fiddle with the right bit :roll:

Look first matey, trust me, it's easier to work out than creating a thread on here

It's literally like unplugging a household plug, it's really that easy

I was getting false alarms too and this seems to have solved it....just need a new one now

I nearly asked the same question when replacing mine.... til I looked under the bonnet

for the record though - middle of the car under the windscreen where the two cross braces meet... there is a switch... unplug it

 

[sprainedmind]

Right, I'm pleased to report that even I could see what to do there. Now to see if that stops the alarm going off....

They're only about ten quid from BMW,a 30 sec job to replace.
