Alarm going off

Seem to have the alarm going off for no reason intermittently, but it's not the full blown alarm just indcators flashing and mid-low siren - any clues on where to start looking/checking?

Allow me to be the fourth! Have the same problem so I'll try disconnecting the bonnet switch today..

I guess it's the sun hitting the bonnet and causing the metal to expand Laughing

Well it's been almost 48 hours and not a peep from the alarm! Use to go off at least once a day so seems fixed. Question is: should I fix the sensor or just leave it unplugged permanently?

Me too. LRA assist advise leave it disconnect - mine's off to the dealer for adjustment or replacement on Wednesday.

And allow me to be the fith! Started going off this morning. Will clean/WD40 the switch and if that doesn't work disconnect it. Wish the stuck CD changer was as simple to fix...

I think I might have this.

Symptoms are:
* Random event
* Car not driven for a few hours
* Beeping begins with hazards flashing (beeping is similar to a lorry reversing)
* Dog goes feckin spastic
* If you don't get to it in time (wake up, wonder wtf, get out of bed, stumble downstairs, blearily find keys), the beeping stops and the hazards continue.
* Stops when you unlock the car on the remote.

Where do I find the bonnet switch?

All the way at the top left under the bonnet..

just pull the wire out and make sure it's not hanging down or going to rub against anything

Surprised you even need to ask really.

Not withstanding the fact I hate having things not working on the car - you would also invalidate the "theft" part of your insurance as you have disabled part of your security system.

Someone could open your bonnet to disable the alarm and then make off with your car.

The Isle of Man had the best idea, the birch.
Nobody ever went back for a second dose apparently.
EU stopped them using it unfortunately.

Getting it fixed is at the top of the list

But I guess from a technical point of view, it's not causing any damage?
