Hi all, first post but I have lurked for a while!
Got a 99 coupe and after searching the posts have disconnected the bonnet switch while I get another however I don’t think this is the problem.
Car locks and unlocks fine with the remote, and runs fine most of the time. Occasionally when I unlock it and get in the alarm starts to sound as soon as the engine starts. Once this happens the car still runs fine but I can't stop the alarm without disconnecting the battery, the remote has no effect.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Should the alarm not stop the engine or is that immobilisation taken care of by the key/chip?
Any suggestions would be great as I have tried everything I can think of and can't use the car at the moment, don't want to be driving round with the alarm sounding!
Thanks.
Matt.
