Default Please Help

Left the car today as normal and when I came back, I unlocked with fob and got in and the alarm kept going off!

I drove home OK as the immobiliser never kicked in but every few secs the alarm would sound for a few secs and continued to stop and start like that the whole way home.

It seemed to be related to the microwave sensor, as when I was as still as poss, it wouldn't sound but when I moved about a bit on purpose, it would.

Anyone aware of a fix for this or a way to disable until I get it sorted as its driving me nuts!?

Sure its not the low battery alarm?

Seems strange the alarm is armed with the immobiliser unset!

Damn lol at the thought of you driving down the road with your alarm going off though

Flat or weak battery is often the culprit.

Cheers for your help, will try the battery tomorrow.

I was struggling to see the funny side earlier but can laugh too now, I wonder what everyone was thinking as I was driving through Leeds centre with my alarm blaring?!
