Silly alarm ....

My Alarm seems to keep going off for no reason and its annoying everyone in my office.

Is there anything that i can do about it ? I tend to leave it, not locked now and then the alarm isnt activated.
I'm told the motion sensors are detected rippling heat movement ????

To be honest i just want to disconnect it and leave it, or is it loosing a code or what ?

Any ideas ? Thanks Myron

Try locking the car using the key in the drivers door - should lock the doors, but not set the alarm.

Yeah, that's how you do it with mine, though it doesn't go off randomly so always set the alarm.

check the manual, on my old escort it still used to set the alarm by locking the drivers door.

Check windows, boot, bonnet, sunroof, spiders etc...

My alarm goes off randomly if my window is just the tiniest bit open.

yea i knew about that

I can only lock the car with the drivers door at the moment as one of the buttons dont work, i paid £50 for a key fob i just gotta get it coded, i can open the car and boot with the key, but not lock it, so i use the key.

You can lock the car twice with the door, if you turn it once, you can lock it, and when you turn it twice you set the internal sensors or something i dunno.
Ive tried locking it once, and twice and still the alarm goes off.

It only happens when its hot inside the car ?, even when i lock it once.

What car is it? A Vauxhall still?

is the alarm a 3rd party one or factory fitted (came with the car)? if 3rd party, what make is it?

when you dearm the number of beeps/LED flashes should tell you what was the cause of it going off and you should be able to take it from there.

if you have a toad pressing arm twice should lock the car but keep the sensors deactivated so it wont go off...
