THUNDERBOLLOCKS Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Right. Simply, the alarm on my 2001 mk3 estate keeps setting itself off. - Tried taking out both the horn fuses but then found out (the hard way via the neighbours disgusted tutting) that the alarm has its own horn - Tried locking manually with the key in the door lock - Tried disconnecting the bonnet alarm switch cable I have now resorted to disconnecting the battery every night after locking it up but ideally I really would like to not have to do this every morning and night, the gimmick has worn off and its getting a bit boring now!! Any help would be appreciated as its getting a bit embarrassing now. Not the fact that the neighbours are being woken up a lot, bollo*ks to them, its just that its a really patheticly weedy sounding alarm and its embarrassing being seen turning it off!!!! Thanks.

tommy.h Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Hi just a thought but i had a vauxhall which did this. turned out to be a backup battery for the alarm system(so it cannot just be ripped out & smashed) may be worth checking with ford if their system has this back-up. tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnH Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 i was reading a thread before and they claim the bonnet sensors are iffy. http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7753&st=0&p=44441&hl=alarm&fromsearch=1entry44441 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focus_ST-3 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 See other thread as well, could be water ingress into the alarm sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
