Today I replaced the battery in my key fob as I thought it was getting a bit weak as you needed to be quite close to the car before you could unlock it. I also took the door panel off the drivers side rear door to see if I could remove the latch to grease it as it was sticking with the power door.

Now the alarm goes of either within 30 seconds of being set or up to half to one hour of being set !, it never happended before so I am thinking it must be something I done today. I have pressed the lock key 3 times to disable in internal sensors but it still goes off !.

I have locked the car manually by pressing down all the plungers in the doors and the red light on the dashboard does not come on and so far the alarm has not gone off.

Anyone got any ideas ?, should I take the door panel back off incase I disturbed some wiring as there seemed to be a lot in there !.

Thanks

 

Took battery off waited 10 mins put key in ignition and reset the system, armed it a few times and so far its not went off. The only thing I have noticed that the book says the alarm light will flash rapidly for 15 seconds the flash at a slower rate, this one just flashes rapidly continually !.

 

Solved !, removed the Underhood switch and the alarm works perfectly, have ordered a new underhood switch for £13.50.
