Urgent aftermarket alarm help please!

<!--coloro:black--><span style="color:black"><!--/coloro-->I have a Toad alarm and immobilizer on my cally and its been working fine recently but all of a sudden tonight wont stop going off after its armed itself. I’m not sure if it is because it is windy outside tonight and draft is getting of or where it is hot inside from a long run and cold out and this is setting it off or what to be honest.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->



<!--coloro:black--><span style="color:black"><!--/coloro-->Is there any temporary way to turn the alarm off without removing the whole thing? Something like a fuse in the toad control box that can be pulled or something???<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->



<!--coloro:black--><span style="color:black"><!--/coloro-->Any ideas would be grateful cheers.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

if its going off right away make sure all doors are shut(well the switches r workin), and all interior lights are going off accordingly incl the boot.. and all electrical stuff is turned off.. sounds like its detecting a power drain.. anyway cant help im afraid, normally if anything the alarm will have a key to turn it off, but unless it has (only seen it on older ones) then i dunno what you can do (battery backup and all).. close your airvents etc tho, make sure its not blowing in thru them. sorry cant help [img]/smile.gif[/img]

And failing that, if you can't find a "fix", you could take a load of rags, cotton wool, jumpers etc. and pack it round the alarm unit to shut it up until you can get it looked at.

Spray a can of expanding foam into the siren....
Other than that - Im stuck for ideas. I take it you cant adjust the sensitivity?
If it has its own sensors, maybe face them a bit further down or something...
