    Default Alarm keeps going off?!

    It's an 08 plate vectra elite estate, 3.0V6cdti.

    And basically my alarm keeps going off? I lock it up, all the doors are closed, all the windows are closed. I'll lock the car and it'll be as normal for a few minutes then all of a sudden it'll go off?

    Any ideas folks? I thought it may be down to the battery going on the fob, so i'm using my other fob and it's still doing it now. Think i'm going to start annoying the rest of the street in an hour or so. Keep going back out. Opening the car up and relocking. Then random minutes later off we go again

    The rear quarter panel glass sensors will either have broken off or the wire trace on the screen will be broken. To test, simply remove the spade connectors from the glass and link them together with a piece of wire. Try one side, then the other. Or do what i have done and just do this on both sides, as the ultrasonics still work.

    Cheers,

    Steve.

    Steve, that seems to have done the trick. it hasn't gone off for around ten minutes! Many thanks for the advice

    The side i've unplugged does seem to have some damage to the orange circuit - yet i've had nothing in the boot to cause it, so it must have been like it when i brought the car, seems strange for it to be playing up all of a sudden... I'll have to figure out what options are available here, for now that window is unplugged Worth a shot to see if it's covered under the warranty lol

    U wont get it done under warranty as is only covered up to one year from new same as trim interior etc.... Had same issue when my car w
    Had 2 monts warranty left . Give it a go I be surprised if they go ahead with Vx prices around 250£ per quarter panel

    Hi Ben, as Sebastian has said, i'd doubt the warranty will cover it. I've had 4 estates from new and they have all done this in the end. It's just poor bonding of the spade connectors to the glass at the end of the day unfortunatly.....

    Although it certainly worth a try! Good luck.

    Steve.
