4 beeps alarm

[geordieclio]

when i unlocked my car yesterday and today after being at work for bowt 9 hours got 4 beeps, what does this mean?

means its gone off while you have been away.
Next time it happens have a look how many flashes the LED is giving off near your gearstick, that will tell you which sensor has been triggered.
Look in manual for chart.

ok will do cheers, just seems funny though coz doesn't happen over night and just started doing it yesterday

 

[Liam]

mine was ok for over a year. Didnt even have the common beep on arming problem that most have.
If it becomes common there is something you can do with the wiring.
email me if it carries on and ill explain how to fix it.

sorry not meaning to hijack your thread mate but often when i lock the doors on my 172 i get 3 beeps from the alarm...think i read somewhere bout it being the volumetric sensor or summit...can anyone explain what it is and why it beeps. cheers

 

[Liam]

if you get the beeps when you are arming then that is a fault. A common one too. It can be fixed though at your renault dealer.

Thank you for that link, it confirms it is a fault and not be being dumb (how unusual). However my car is out of warranty, although it has been doing it since i purchased it. Have you any idea how much the modification will cost? bit of a long shot i know. Thanks again:approve:

as far as im aware its not a particularly big job. Try contacting cobra and asking them whats involved maybe you can have a go yourself at sorting it?

my 172 alarm also sometimes beeps 3 times when i lock it, i went to renault and they said i am locking it to soon after the ignition being turned off which turns the interior sensors off, in case you want to leave your windows down or a passenger inside, but if you wait about 30 seconds after you turn the ignition off they dont beep, and it does work.

^^^^^ reason for this is that the radio is still discharging - and the alarm uses the same ignition feed that the radio uses - so the radio discharges down this wire making the alarm see 2 igniton cycles in 7-10secs

ahh so thats why the alarm still thinks the ignition is on!
