Default Toad Cat 1 C5T2 problems...

My fezza has the Toad C5T2 cat1 alarm & immobiliser fitted.

In the past few days I have had a problem whereby the alarm arms successfully, but within 5 mins it goes off! There is no-one about, there is nothing moving within the car.
I have also noticed that sometimes immediately before it goes off there are 5 rapid 'chirps' from the alarm.

As the alarm is all connected in with the central locking, other immobilisers and the anti-hijak system, this is becoming quite a nusance for the neighbors and scary for me as the alarm goes off whenever I use it to lock the doors etc causing me to sometimes just use the key to lock it :/.

I have checked all the contacts (bonnet etc) and they are working fine.

Ideally, if someone has a user manual detailing how to programme the alarm (as I may have buggered it up somehow) if they could post the instructions here. (the alarm was fitted when I bought the car, and I did not recieve a user manual.

Thanx in advance for any help.

What you need to do is let it go off as it does normally, then unlock car get in car insert the ignition key and turn on, then COUNT the led flashes, this will tell you what circuit has triggered, normally in this heat it can be a mercury tilt switch in tailgate for rear boot light, or the bonnet switches play up due to corrosion.
