I originally posted this query on the other forum. I was in a panic at the time and thought I was on this one. I'd be grateful for any comments from SM members. I've now got a new (main) battery which I'l try in the car tomorrow.
Help! About half an hour ago my alarm started going off and nothing will stop it. I've tried : - opening and closing doors, boot and bonnet - locking and unlocking, with key and with button - starting and stopping engine - battery reset Eventually turning the battery isolator knob greatly reduced the volume, so I left it like that. Hopefully the neighbours won't complain now. Thanks all, Steve.
.....Additional info. The battery is a fairly new Bosch S5 and the car has been on an Optimate battery conditioner for a week.....
Just got back to listen to the car. 12 hours after it started all is now quiet - dunno when it went quiet as I wasn't around. The last things I can think of to try is to fit a new battery and to try to locate and check the sensors. However, the sensors should have stopped triggering the alarm once I had turned it off on the keyfob. I'd be grateful for any other ideas of basic things I can check. It's always best to start with the easiest and then work backwards. Thanks, Steve.
