Durrsaku Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Well the bug has just hit my passat too. Alarm going off every ten minutes. Neighbour relations hit all time record low. Spent a couple of hours yesterday cleaning under battery and all that still no joy (thanks to Meriafel early post). No water in footwell but got other suspicions. Have read all the alarm issues reported in here previously. At the moment Car is locking but indicators not flashing when locking only when unlocking. The indoor blinker is blinking at a higher speed to what i can remember. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Just a guess, but could it be a resistor falling apart ond not sending the correct signal to the alarm unit? A bit like when an indicator bulb goes, the indicators flash very quickly????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrsaku Posted January 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Very interesting thought. I will investigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Does the car think you've got a door open when they're all closed? Could be a door pin. Sounds likely to be the convenience unit though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrsaku Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 It sounds like. If it was the door pin wouldn't the dash show the warning sign when i start the car? Convenience unit? Is this what is under the passenger's footwell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durrsaku Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Well after clearing the drain about a two weeks ago until today i have not had the alarm go off just that the flashing indicator light would not come on when i locked the car. But today it has decided to work so there you go everything is working back again and no alarm going off. Result! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
