Default Alarm broken

Thursday night about 10.30 pm the alarm was set off on the Xfire. No sign of any body around, so just reset the alarm and went back in. 30 mins later, off it went again. Reset the alarm and as the interior lights were just dimming down the flashers started flashing. I didn’t bother resetting the alarm again just left it open all night. During the next day I had all sorts of strange sounds coming from the siren, even with it open unit the end of the day when the alarm started up. This time there was no way of stopping it. Not even the key fob wouldn’t reset the alarm system. Try starting the engine with no joy. Pulled the alarm fuse in the end to stop the dam thing. I'v booked it in with a local Dealer on Monday to find the fault, I hope.

Have a great week end
Jon

I think I've heard something about things like this happening when the key fob's batteriess get low worth a try before you take it to the dealer.

No. Still have the problem. The little red light that's staying on is this one. Do you have the same?
