alarm beep ....... sometimes?

[Setone]

Sometimes when I lock my ph1 172, the alarm beeps. Other times it doesn't. Anyone know why this might be?

my ph2 does this some times too. i just unlock it then lock it again and it doesnt do it the second time round. dont know what it is that causes it though.

theres a thread somewhere, its beacause you locked the car too quick after turning the ignition off, you need to give it a second or two AFAIK

Spot on. Give it a few seconds and it won't beep.

Give it a few seconds thing is b****cks TBH, mine does it if i lock the car, walk to the house, unlock house then lock from inside the house.

doesn't do it everytime though.

Load of crap.

It's a feature, If you want to turn the interior sensors off on the alarm, turn the ingintion on and off twice, then lock with the key fob. The car beeps, and the alarm is armed without the interior sensors on.

can you turn the sensors back on by repeating this>

Mine does this too. Had to reset the alarm as it triggered the immobiliser and the f****r wouldnt start.

I understand what your saying, but I'm not turning my ignition on and off twice before I leave then lock the car, so does this mean its fooked?

The sensors are on all the time, you just disable them when you lock the car that way.

Next time you lock it, they'll still be on

It's not fucked, but if you have say.... just turned the engine off after driving, the ingition has been on, then say you wanted to hear the last thing that was on the radio just then and turn the ignition back on, you've turned it off and on twice. You'll get out and lock the car, and won't have consiously thought about what you've done, but will have noticed the beeping.

....and it's not a problem, it's fine.

This is a Fault with the alarm, it's not a feature and you can't get round it, the alarm and ecu aren't talking to each other properly and the alarm thinks the ignition is still switched on hence it's warning you.
You can take it to renault who will fix it for a huge fee no doubt or do what i'm doing and get a decent alarm fitted for less than renault will charge you for fixing the beep on the crap cobra standard alarm

thanks dave, my alarm kept going off during the night so tried this and its been fine since.

 

[Dave..]

Not a problem!

I've been doing it for 3 years... I should probably get it sorted.

im sure i read somewhere on here that you can reduce the sensitivity of the sensors by 20% or something?

You can indeed. By swapping the interior sensor wires over. My alarm however, still likes to go off even with the interior sensors disconnected
