Hi all, Having probs with the alarm system since reconnecting the battery which was disconnected for about 4 weeks, at first all seemed well and the alarm worked as it should and then it started to sound for no apparent reason, it would reset fine and behave for about a day then the indicators would flash at random times then when you set the alarm the indicators would not flash but would flash upon opening, now they don't flash at all the doors lock and unlock and the dash indicator flashes, imoboliser seems fine. Anyone any ideas? Thanks in advance Dave

I understand that if the fob battery is on it's way out, as a warning the indicators don't flash. never got that far myself .
Also the bonnet switch is the one that gives a problem sometimes, if the door switches operate the interior lights ok then they are ok.

hope it helps:)
