Guys,


my alarm keeps going off, been advised it could be boot or bonnet sensors.
are these easy enough to check.


doors, boot & bonnet are shut.


Also how do you disable alarm for time being while fix is in place.


my car is st170

 

Take the wiring plug off of the bonnet catch and bridge the pins out with a piece of wire. They are quite a common fault on these, had to do it on my mk2 st.

 

or unplug the siren lol

 

cheers,

 

Easiest way would be to test the boot or bonnet sensor lol

 

For years and years my alarm on the cossie was dicky. It was always going off so. Not nice at 5.30 in the morning when i was about to go to work.

I stuck a rag in the siren to quiet it down lol.

 

now ive notice the odometer is resetting each time I start the car, & sometimes the speedo & rev counter don't work.


could it be the battery

 

Yeh i would try a battery.

 

Dodgy battery can play havoc with alarms.

 

And cars in general. Definitely change it
