Alarm: alarm going off

TimV-W · 30th September 2007, 10:52

Overnight my alarm went off four or five times.

Got up to check car and could see no obvoius signs of tampering (unmarked dew all over so easy to see) reset and about 20 mins later off it went again.

To add to the mystery I didn't use the car yesterday but no problems on Friday night or during the day.

has anyone else experienced this and are there any suggestions for what to check other than the usual windows not fully up etc. (would the roof being uncovered affect the internal sensors if a halogen spotlight was turning on)

Thanks

Tim

Check the battery level.
I have had alarms on other cars go off when voltage is too low.

Could be a faulty sensor somewhere.
That would be a dealer issue.

How old is the car?
