Toad alarm keeps going off

I have a Toad alarm on my car, think it's an A610.

This afternoon my car alarm started going off for no reason at all, but , when it's gone off before (where I've set it off) when I press the blipper the car would beep four times to show that it had gone off, but today it just unlocked as normal with just two beeps.

I check all the windows, boot, and bonnet were closed and it was fine for an hour but started going off again.

Anyone have any ideas, could there be a battery in the alarm system that may need changing or should i just disconnect the car battery for an hour and see if it all resets?

My Escort sometimes does this if it's been stood for a bit. (Same alarm) Might be your car battery voltage dropping?

Check that your boot light isn't switched on. Also just check the actual door switches.

Thanks guys, I've checked everything and it's stopped happening, for now but will see. I migh give the bonnet switch thingy a thorough check tomorrow as it's a iffy looking wire with electrical tape around part of it for some unknown reason.

I had problems with the bonnet switch on mine due to poor placement. When the wind blew hard, it was enough to flex the bonnet slightly causing it to trigger. I got a switch from an MR2 that had a bracket that I bolted to the bulkhead by scuttle panel. Much better than the Toad switch.

I might have a spare one - I'll see if I can find it for you.

Thanks straightsix.

I've just took the old one off to have a look and check the wiring. The contacts looked a little corroded and the solder joint a bit iffy so tidied it up and put it back on for now but am 99% sure it was the cause of the issue. First time the alarm has thrown a strop in over a year of ownership so can't complain.
