    Changed Battery - now alarm goes off when locking

    I'm not at home at the moment, but have had to fit a new battery on the road to my MY 04 D2a TD5 auto. Now each time I lock the car, the alarm goes off after about 30? seconds. I have my Nanocom Evo with me, but no RAVE or other manuals. Any ideas? If not JC in Kingston might be getting a professional rather than a friendly visit!

    Might be a bit of a long shot, but check the bonnet switch. Might have been bumped during the battery change.

    Either that, or maybe one of the relays or fuses has been slightly dislodged.

    Thanks - I did try/check that forst off.
    Well, I think I've found the problem. Because of the failed battery, I've been using a permanently powered on 12V plug to keep the fridge working. Then when I lock the car, there seems to be an interaction between the two and the alarm goes off. Disconnected the fridge for a while and locked up - no alarm set off so far! Now my front passenger window winder has carked it so a vist to JC in Hobart is on the cards.
