Anyone able to pm me with where the alarm module is located? Its seems to have gone on the fritz

Apparently it was going off randomly the last two days, and now it doesn't chirp on arm/disarm despite me turning the feature on/off. I'm not sure the siren even works at all now. When I checked the code for what had been triggering, it displayed the siren tamper code which doesn't seem promising.

Its a bit gutting as its only just back from service having cost a fair whack.

Sorry Dan, don't know but suggest location responses come to you privately for security.

It sounds like the power may have been cut during your recent work so maybe it just needs resetting or something?!

Let me know if you need the AutoWatch helpline number (won't be until Monday now though)?

Greg,
I know you are trying to help Dan, but the more infomation you put on here the more everyones security is compromised. It might be better to do it by e-mail.

Dan,
Have you tried resetting to the factory defaults?

Will give the reset a shot. Autowatch number is on the web, but presumably they don't work saturdays. Might give it a shot anyway.

Thanks all, this is really getting on my tits, and its probably going to drain the battery. At least the locking is still working at the moment (tempting fate...)

Dan - you can disconnect the siren which at least will stop it being so annoying - I had this happen to me once and Lee sent me an email saying how to shut it up - if you need the details email me.

Mine was caused my water in the siren - not Nobles fault as it is a sealed unit.

Sometimes mine goes off and/or fails after driving through deep standing water.

Cures itself when it dries out.

Hmm the engine bay/front were hosed down at the service...

Nathan any chance of emailing me the details as if it doesn't stop soon the neighbours will be lynching me! Not like I can even lock the doors without the sodding thing activating itself!

Its either that, or the wiring has been disturbed fitting in the active aerial. Its all a bit of a mess in there, with far too many over long wires and connectors all crammed in.

Arse. I bet the alarm warranty is the same as the car warranty.

Maybe I should get a CSL too!

p.s. if you have the email, any chance of sending it to my hotmail, and not the work addr. fanks!

Drove a 911 Turbo when I was looking at a new car. I might get strung up for saying so, but thought it was boring. I'd decided on a Mitsu Evo FQ 330 untill I drove a Noble. Then it was a one way street!
