Alarm Intermittent

[spencem875]

So for the last few days my alarm has been going off for no reason. It goes off when i park at work, but hasn't gone off when i park at home (so far) :bitehard3

It also went off in Tesco's this morning and was going off when i got back from football on Sunday.

Could be the start of the Alarm Siren failure, the internal battery leaks acid over the pcb and causes random havoc....a very common problem apparently on our P2s. Normally an 'Alarm Service' message will be displayed on the DIM.

That said, I had a similar experience back in October last year. I was all set to order the Alarm Siren Kit....but just went around opening a firmly closing all the doors, boot and bonnet. The alarm hasn't gone off since.

Here's a useful thread:

And now it's fine.....

Good news....although much like mine, we've probably only delayed the inevitable lol
