Help, Alarm going off.

My alarm has started misbehaving. About two three times a week it just goes off on its own. Would appreciate any ideas as to why and how to cure it. Thanks.

Re: Help, Alarm going off.

It seems to go off when the weather is warm, not when its cold. I was in Derbyshire for three days where it was freezing and windy. It only went off once when the sun briefly came out and the wind dropped. Could it be expanding air inside a closed car setting off something?

Re: Help, Alarm going off.


its a long shot but it worked in my GTV......... I actually had a resident spider..

It used to come out at night and sometimes trigger the alarm I guess by walking over the interior sensors..

It was an aftermarket alarm system but 166's Im sure have built in interior sensors somewhere?
