fRoG Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I hope someone can help me with this! Yesterday I locked my GTI with the key like I always do. 10 minutes later I came back to it and unlocked with the key, opened the door and the alarm went off. I closed the door again and locked it. The alarm didnt stop, so I kept trying to lock/unlock (even holding the key in position to set the alarm) and it still wouldnt stop. The immobiliser light was on but I could start the car and drive it with the alarm going off and the hazards flashing. I took the hazard fuse out so I could get it home. Once I got it home I had to open the boot and disconnect the alarm. I took the immobiliser fuse out and then put it back in to reset it, all seems well now but I am without an alarm. Anyone know what has happened? Has something gone wrong with my key or do I have a bad earth? Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StewLX Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Did you try unlocking locking from the other door? mine does this because the switch doesn't work on the drivers side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie74 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 checked the door open sensor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fRoG Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 checked the door open sensor? Seems fine. After a couple of minutes the alarm will turn off but as soon as you open either door or the boot it goes off again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
