My 2009 Fiesta 1.6Tdci suffers from intermittent alarm triggers. They do not occur regularly and may not occur for a couple of days, but when they do start, the alarm may re-trigger about 5 minutes after being reset. I have checked all doors and windows are closed. Can anyone give me a clue what may be causing this? Many thanks.
