7:30 this morning the standard cobra alarm on my Willy 2 kicked off.
It kept on going non-stop. The indicators were not flashing. (Is this normal?)
I turned it of at the fob, the indicators flashed to show it was deactivating but alarm still kept on going!
Opened bonnet and tried to turn off alarm at the box with the key, but found it was the wrong key for the alarm.
Disconnect battery.
Oh B*****
The car has been driven very little over the last month so could it be the battery being a bit down? But why did it still go on after I deactivated it???
Battery is new so I don't think that would be an issue.
I have read in an earlier post that the bonnet alarm sensor/switch (found by the passenger headlight) can be an issue but this has been disconnected on my car and has been since I got it.
I have not re-connected the battery yet as I need to go out for a bit.
Has anyone else seen anything similar?
From having the same alarm on a clio years back, I believe that if you lock the car with the key and not the fob the immobiliser will be turned on but the alarm doesn’t get turned on. Does anyone know if this is correct?
Is there any other way to turn off the alarm and the car still runs?
Grateful for any thoughts.
