stevie_b Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 before the alarm beepd 5 times to arm and 2 to dis arm, leave the doors open and all was fine. now it beeps once to arm and 2 to dis arm, i leave the doors open and the alarm triggers, ... 1 beep when arming, 2 beeps when disarming sounds normal for a toad alarm. 5 beeps usually means you've just tried to arm it when a door, the bonnet or the boot is open. I know it doesn't explain the reason for the sudden difference though. but if i start the car, the with the doors open it doesnt alarm, Sorry, I couldn't understand this bit. Could you elaborate and re-phrase please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

couv3z Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 , if im cleaning the car the alarm will go of becuase the door will be open when you changed the battery did you put the arlam on "safe" mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 As already said the alarm should not go off while the engine is running. If its a cat 1 alarm you should not be able to start the car when the alarm is armed. If the siren is going off when the engine is running but the hazards are not flashing then the siren is faulty. If it is doing what you are saying then I would get it looked at because it sounds fooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
