Thread: TD5 Vehicle alarm

Windows down at all? This ones important!

And yes, if a fly/spider goes past a sensor it can set it off...

Did you have a car fridge running??? Mine has set off the motion sensor on startup.

Mine did it once slightly loose earth strap.

If you lock the car with the key in the driver's door (not the remote button) it will lock the car & activate the alarm on the doors circuit only and the engine immobiliser. The motion sensors are activated as well as doors and engine if the car is locked with the remote. As mentioned a moth will trigger the motion sensors and if there is an open window the sensor will be triggered.

I would try locking the car with the key (in the door) – if all is good there is something living in you car – tell the wife it’s a huge spider. If you still have a problem then there is an issue with battery or one of the door circuits.

PS you can lock the car with the windows cracked (or all down) if you use the key, I sometimes leave mine in the carport at home with the windows down an inch or so to allow a bit of air through.

So don't use the remote when you lock it after an alarm in the caravan pk next time

I've heard of high powered UHF radio setting one off - Not CB but AMateur gear running 100W output.

(Actually he had great delight driving through shopping centre carparks)

Hi There
My TD% Disco also does something simmilar.
After being locked by the remote and 20 minutes later the alarm beeps as if it has a miss lock.
If left alone all is fine, but open the vehicle after that time( after the beep) and the alarm goes off. I have to reset the alarm. ie. turn the ignition on and off again and all is fine.
Comments was that it is a faulty door lock. Possible as the rear door does not open from the inside. It will rather be an expensive experiment just to find out if it is the rear lock or not.
Cheers
