Alarm going off.

[renesis]

my alarm is going off every few minutes this evening. it did it once at 4am but i didnt realise it was my car the alarm stopped all by its self.

but in the last hour ive been out the the car 6 times. ive tried everything turning the sensor off moving the car opening all the doors. putting the handbrake on. (i usually just put it in park) ive got no alarm message. the red light constantly flashes once the alarm has gone off untill i unlock then lock the car again.

please help before the neighbours kill me.

ive just been and done that but i couldnt turn the key. it would unlock using the key but got stuck when i tried to lock. managed to free it off.
thought id try it with the remote again. and so far so good.

thanks clan. i just posted before properly reading the thread as the mrs was breathing fire down my neck.

will the car still have stored a fault code even thou its not told me it has?

[Clan]

Yes a "cause of alarm" will be stored , maybe a Movment sensor, bonnet switch etc , or a code for faulty siren communication if it is the siren ..

well having my airbag light reset next thursday so will be able to find out then when they plug her in.

thanks for the help, much appreciated

They are about £160 new (discounted) or £118 for a kit of new siren, front bonnet switch and assorted fastners!

Go figure why the kit is cheaper than the siren on its own....

How do I know..? Just bought one!

Thanks Dave. Thought I would be OK. Its from the 55 plate I broke, and ours is an 05 so should all be good!

Long time no speak. You still got that little MX5?
