Hi all,
my alarm's acting up. The beeper goes off in the dead of night, which makes me think it's either temperature or condensation related. Maybe both. When the beeper's sounding the hazard lights don't flash, so it's not the usual alarm. It also happens whether or not the interior motion detector is enabled.
The door LED gives an odd indication when I lock it. Flashes quickly 8 times, flashes at about 2 per second for another 25 seconds, and then flashes about once every two seconds, although sometimes a long wink in there. At least it knows something's amiss. So far the only cure is to leave the car unlocked, not really what I want to do.
I took a look at the posts relating to this and took a look at the convenience unit/Komfort Elektronik. It's clean as a whistle. No sign of condensation, or any residue that might be sensitive to it. I sprayed some Servisol on the external connector contacts, since it might have helped with contact corrosion, but no joy.
The main battery seems fine. No trouble starting.
Can anyone tell me where the beeper is, and where I can find the auxiliary battery (that powers the alarm if the main battery is disconnected)? Any other suggestions as to what it might be?
I'll try to get hold of someone with VAGcom to try and pin this down.
Thanks,
Dev
