My alarm has been really annoying over the last couple of days, going off constantly within minutes of walking away from it. Can't see any little spidery fellas living near the sensors or anything. Is there any evidence that the hot weather can cause this? If so, is there a solution? I've been leaving it unlocked when I'm close by.

Have you washed it recently?

I know hot weather can cause problems with some alarms, not sure why. Have you checked the 'false alarm' section in the build manual? You should get a number of flashes from your hazards to tell you what sensor is failing.

I haven't washed it, only leathered it. Will look at the manual, but got this feeling it's hot weather related somehow.

The switch on the rear clams can stick.

WD40, press up and down sevaral times till loose, may sort it.

Used to happen to me.

Also, check for corrosion on the wires.
