Sounds like an open circuit caused by a Faulty Sensor. I would probably start looking at the Bonnet Pin Switch.

What alarm is it?

capri_neil

its an laserline 1, came with car

To put it more simply, if one of the sensors is faulty, or not connected etc, once you have set the alarm, the car will think that the Bonnet/Door/Boot etc is open if the sensor for that part of the car is playing up.

capri_neil

ahhh ok, so just some how check the sensors, find the faulty 1 and disconnect it.

As above, check the bonnet, boot and door switches. If you have washed your car or it has rain'd heavy then water can sometimes find its way into the switches and short them causing the false alarm.

Remove the switches, get rid of the water and coat them in low temp grease or vaseline

capri_neil

ahh that will be it i think, i steam cleaned it and it has rained very heavily lately, even hail stone!

cheers

Moonie

JUst coat the rear of the switches with grease, it will prevent the water getting to the contacts.

capri_neil

still not cured!

iv noticed the interia light dosent come on wen i open the doors and it is set on the switch to come on, is the alarm on the doors operated on the same plunger?

i disconnected the bonnet plunger and this dosent solve it.

help appreicated because i cannot set my alarm at the moment.

i have norrowed it down to been a faulty earth or connect as the alarm bleeps 3 time so i looked on the handbook and 3 bleeps is earthing.

cheers
