    Does the car start?
    When it starts does the alarum turn off?
    Can you lock/unlock the car with the key buttons?
    What is the red light on the dash panel doing?

    I removed my bonnet switch. BTW it is the opposite of most switches as it is closed circuit with the bonnet open and open circuit with it closed. So if you remove and insulate the wires the alarm thinks the bonnet is closed.

    Yep. I've disabled the bonnet switch, and it makes no difference, horn still sounds. This is driving me nuts LOL.

    The main thing is to lock it with the fob and unlock it and maybe do that a few times.
    Have you tried that?

    Does the fob work?

    The car battery's flat, so I have to use the key to unlock the driver's door.
    I've replaced the battery in the fob, and the red LED blinks okay. I can only
    think the previous owner has rewired something somewhere that bypasses
    the bonnet switch—which I've disabled.

    Thanks for your ongoing suggestions guys, it's appreciated.

    I believe the car has to be unlocked with the fob to deactivate the alarm.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    If you connect a charged battery does the system reset?

    Only if you unlock with the fob... the solution was already given at post #13 but seems that it was ignored

    Yes, I read 13.
    I thought connecting a charged battery would reset the system, assuming the vehicle was originally locked with the fob.
    If it was originally locked with the key then that might be different.
    Does locking with the key set the alarm and immobiliser on these vehicles, or not? It doesn't on mine.

    If the vehicle is locked no matter with what the alarm becomes active, locking with the key only disables the volumetric alarm, if the battery goes flat it becomes immobilised too, a charged battery would not remobilise it nor reset anything it would just bring back the vehicle to the initial alarmed/immobilised status and to remobilise it(if it's on factory setting) an unlock command with fob is needed or if the fob doesnt work then the EKA code.
