Help 😬

Hello everyone. I bought my first Crossfire yesterday a coupe. Couple of silly problems. If I lock with the remote, I get no audible signal and within a couple of minutes the indicators start flashing...as if the alarm has been tripped, but again, no sound. The dealer had fitted a new battery. I seem to recall another car some years back when this happened after anew battery...any thoughts?
Also, the spoiler doesn’t seem to deploy at 60mph. It operates from the switch.

The siren is under the cowl in front of the windshield, disconnecting it would confirm my diagnosis.
One flash for opening and three for locking.
You can forget the new battery causing the problem.

Thankyou, I’ll check in the morning. Any thoughts as to why it may flash after several minutes, as if the alarm had been tripped?

I thought I covered that in my post, you only mentioned the lights flashing after a couple of minutes.

Re: Help 😬

Are you saying that because the siren is possibly faulty, that’s why it looks like the alarm has been tripped? Rather than a fault with the alarm itself?

Huh!
Unplug the siren.
