I had this issue with my car, I didn't do anything and it resolved itself. So I'm guessing it was a faulty connector (probably the bonnet one). A quick way to test the siren is to lock the car with the fob and unlock the drivers door with the key. As soon as you do the alarm will go off (it is very, very loud).

Thanks all. I’ve just raised the bonnet and locked the car then release the micro switch but no sound. Does that mean it’s the siren?

As I said, mine just throws it's hands in the air and gives up if the bonnet is open. I'll go and unlock the door with the key, or even pull the locking pin up if the window is open, and all the doors unlock with a couple of wins from the indicators. And then the interior light comes on to welcome the thieves in!

Is this still happening? Here is what you need to do:
Open the bonnet, and leave it open. Close all doors and windows. Arm the alarm using the fob, not they key. The alarm should lock the doors for you. After a few seconds, the dashboard alarm LED will blink occasionally to deter theives. Use the key, NOT THE FOB, to unlock the door. Open the door. The alarm should sound. Does it? Or not? Do this for both doors, then report back what happens. |
