Hi- I have a 2009 Mondeo and it says- 'alarm service required' on the dash.

I've done a full system scan and there are no fault codes.

The car is for sale and has got a viewing today. It's never been on before, only started yesterday!!

Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of it or what I need to do to fix it?

Battery in the key maybe?

Or in the siren?

If it is key fob battery it will say key battery low. My old mondeo used to put all sorts of errors on the dash but disconnecting the battery for a bit usually cleared them lol

It will be the alarm siren. It's under the passenger side front wheel arch liner. Right at the top behind the strut.

What's needed to sort it. My mrs's galaxy has started doing it.

New siren/sounder to cure it. Odd occasions it can be the interior sensor where the interior light is. But 9/10 it's the siren under the NSF arch liner. Only two 10mm nuts and a multiplug to change it. Other than the arch liner off of course

As said mate.replace the siren and all will be well.

I managed to figure it out. I had a flat battery and replaced it with a new battery, after that my dash board kept telling me that my Laramie service required. I managed to sort the problem
out by opening the car windows and locking the doors, after a minute or so I put my arm into the car and activated my alarm. I unlocked the door sat in the car and closed the door, I then put key in ignition and turned it to point 11 Ignition lights came on after a moment the service alarm went off. I turned off the car and put my key back into the ignition and done, the alarm service has now gone. Sorted at last. Cheers.
