my standard alarm keeps going off, (172 ph1)the plip unlocks the car but the alarm goes off as soon as i open the door. it starts and drives fine but the alarm will not disarm.
all suggestions gratefully recieved
i'm a diesel mechanic but i'm crap at electrics

On my 182 the wiring block for the standard alarm is under the dash n/s, get your head into the passenger footwell and look up, the block is a 6 pin black block that had blue sides and the harness coming from it was covered in insulation tape, just disconnect it as a temporary measure.

will that stop the siren & hazards kicking off. tbh i don't really need the alarm just the immobilizer.

AFAIK that is the power block for the alarm, with the alarm not powered it should not operate the siren or indicators, the transponder imobiliser is not part of the alarm.

thanks again

I had a similar experience with my alarm, if you open any door too quickly after disarming the alarm the alarm needs to be reset by Renault. I was lucky and managed to reset it by opening the doors, boot and bonnet setting the alarm, then disarming it. Then close everything and arm the alarm...think thats what i did... mine did it outside a takeaway, wasn't half embarrasing driving off with the alarm blaring etc

i disconnected the battery or a couple of hours and it seems to have cured it
i just hope i haven't spoken too soon :quiet:

when my alarm went off on 172, just lock doors and unlock and it switches off.

Remember to tell ur insurance mate. It might up your premium a bit, but it's gotta be better than finding they dont pay out should the worst happen!
