Hi all,
I've been having some problems with the alarm going off when left outside. Never seems to go off in the garage - must be the cold weather LOL
So, I've read through a lot of the threads on here, and it seems the likely culprit are the door lock switches. But I saw that some say you can pull a plug out of the module behind the carpet in the drivers footwell. I've been looking for this but not sure. Here is a picture of my footwell
A bit of a rubbish pic, but all I can see is this thing that is taped up, looks a bit aftermarket. Could be for a hands free phone kit maybe? Am I in the right place for the alarm module? I unplugged this and the central locking is still working. ps first time uploading a pic, will dropbox work - apologies if not....
The next step was simply to stop the noise so at least it's less anti-social. I believe the alarm hooter is behind the rear driver's side trim panel. On the right of this picture, yes? See I've disconnected the live and taped it up?
Next step is to get the door trims off and I was planning to bypass the switch by cutting the wires and soldering them up to make the ECU think the door is always shut. Anyone tried this before? Will it work?
I'm off to find out!
Cheers,
Tony
