alarm starts for no reason...

my alarm starts twice a day with no reason. usually at night and at noon and stop normally when i disarmed it.. i've checked that nothing is around my car when it sounded. could anybody help? did anybody know how to fix it?

because it is so disturbing when i'm on my class then my car alarm starts. thank you so much..

my car is 2007 FL2 i6 HSE.

The bonnet alarm switch has been know to cause this issues. I had the same exact situation going on as you did.
Look at my posts, i did a picture tutorial on how to replace it. Very easy to do. Cuatro Por Cuatro

Try a Hard Reset, disconnect both leads from the battery, touch them together, go have a cup of tea, connect the battery again, this worked for me on my first Freely.

i've tried to open the anti theft sensor and instead of changing it, i try to pull the metal so it shape better. i think i'll give it a few days trial. and if the alarm still trigered, i would try the hard reset, and if it doesn't work, i might order the sensor. :)

anyway thanks 4por4 and ad210358


@Mona Geeza : what is "moth"?

Same thing here, alarm was going without any reason. The diagnostic said 'hood opened'. So today I had the sensor replaced.

Had same with mine - happened a couple of times which I put down to gremlins but then had a day when it happened a couple of times culminating in the imobiliser engaging and had to be recovered. Not sure what the cause was but had a new alarm unit fitted under warranty.

On another note does anyone have a workshop manual for the FL2 - No Haynes one published yet...
