Is my alarm working?

[mhurley]

If I press the triangle on the fob the alarm goes off.

If say I wind down the drivers window and lock the car and then wave my arm about inside through the window nothing happens...

Also tried rocking the car slightly as well

Mine has the volumetric and tilt version


I should add I had an alarm service message error last year and AM diagnosed a faulty sounder which they replaced

Easiest way to check is
A- jemmy open door with crow bar
B- put brick through window
C- force lock with screwdriver
If it doesn’t go off there is a problem, no need to thank me
Hope this helps

No idea hopefully there is someone more technically minded

Open the door with the key rather than the fob and see if it goes off.

Hi Sebastian , I've tried that and the alarm did go off so that's something.

I'm going to lower the roof tomorrow and see if I can trigger it by movement inside the car

Roof down, the internal movement sensor is disabled.

Sit in the car, lock it with the zapper, wait half a minute for the alarm to set, then move around and see if it goes off.
