Alarm Issues?

[manc dwarf]

Hi,

I am getting a weird issue with my T350. Its not really a big deal but just wondered if anyone here has had it or can give some advice.

This has only just started. I never used to have this in 9 months of ownership. Basically, now when I lock the car, the indicators flash as normal and then when I walk away, maybe about 20-30 seconds after I locked it, the car makes a short chirping noise from the alarm. When I then go to unlock it, it makes it again. Its kind of intermittent but has been a lot more common of late.

Any ideas?

Mine does this if a door isn't closed properly. Might be a dodgy sensor on the door latch.

It depends whether its an electronic chirping noise, or more of a mechanical noise.
My Tamora makes more of a "click" than a "chirp" shortly after arming the alarm - I've always assumed this is when the microwave sensor kicks-in. Apparently the microwave sensor only activates after 20-30 seconds after the main alarm has been armed.

Could this be the sound you're hearing?
