K thanks for the info. I closed the hood microswitch, to fool it into thinking the hood was closed, but alarm still sounds. Broke into it the old fashioned way, with a coat hanger, but no matter what I do, the alarm still sounds. Pulled the alarm fuse (9), alarm stops, but the lights continue to flash. Pulling the central locking fuse, stops the flashing of the lights. Once this is done, it starts and drives. So, my theory, is, alarm module gone bad, sets the alarm off, flashes the lights til the battery is flat. Does that sound reasonable?
If so can someone point me to the thread about the newer alarm module.....with the beep on lock/unlock?
Oh the fob batteries seem ok, as pushing the fob buttons will flash the indicators as normal, but nothing else happens
