Alarm going mad

[Z4rro]

For some unknown reason the alarm has assumed a mind of its own and is going off at the craziest times. Can't find anything to show why and wondered if maybe spiders or some other critters were to blame or should I get it looked at?

Cheers

Same question as asked by someone else today - bonnet switch is the problem Replace it..... or test by disconnecting it for a few days

stupid question.. but what does the alarm actually sound like?

Mine just goes "Chirp... Chirp... Chirp... Chirp... Chirp"?

Is the alarm a standard feature on the 2005 3.0i? The features list says 'pre-wired for alarm system'.

 

[sk93]

nope.. not standard.

In the UK - standard, in the US and other parts of Europe - not standard.

Odd as the brochure shows it as a standard featur on every UK model 2.2 2.5 and 3.0 back in 2003/4 and stil there in the 2006 edition 2.0 and up
