Is it a bit windy?

Do you have your centre vents open?

[jayl645]

theres a tiny bit of wind but all the vents are off,
i thought it was the sun roof open at first so i shut that and its been going off all day.

i realy realy could do with some help on this"please",
ive noticed a couple of things over the past day or 2.
1_ my alarm only go's off in the afternoons (strange, could be the heat?)
2_if i leave my windows open and turn the key so its almost deadlocking the doors the windows shut(the key must be "almost" deadlocking)
3_i watched my alarm led today and it flashes normal for 10 seconds and after that it flashes in pulses of 2 realy quick,is this normal because if i rember when i first got the cali it flashed alot slower!!!

if anyone can help or give me some ideas,things to try ill buy u a pint

I didnt think 29 was a fault code.. ahem..
Isn't the flashing thing telling you the alarm trigger? i dont have my manual im afraid..

fault codes i have are
18 Fault with disarm signal
32 Boot caused an alarm condition
33 Bonnet caused an alarm condition
34 Doors caused an alarm condition
35 Ignition Turned on caused an alarm condition
36 Imbolization circuit open circuit
37 Radio caused an alarm condition
38 Ultrasonic's caused an alarm condition
39 Fault with disarm signal. (central locking fuse blown)
46 Rear Window smashed caused an alarm condition ('92+ models only)
52 Horn Voltage Low Horn O/C or fuse blown


the windows are supposed to shut held 45degrees past vertical, thats normal..

mine acts like this.

Deadlock car.

Light is constant for a few seconds (unless bonnet or door is open)
then flashes in a strange pattern.

I left the window open and waved a hand in but the ultasonics didnt trigger the alarm, so i popped the bonnet and it triggered the alarm. Im not sure what the ultrasonics are supposed to trip on.

Yeah the alarms are a bit odd, mine go off if it windy and i've left the vents open but when i locked my nephew in the car nothing. ?

thanks for the quick replys,
my red led light on the passenger side ultrasonic is flashing 29 ive checked it 3 times,(ill check it again 2morrow just to make sure),if thats not a fault code i dont know why its flashing that up(confused look on my face),

ive tryed the bonnet test on mine and the alarm gos off but i havent tryed the ultrasonics test,ill give that a go aswell to see if its the same as yours,
i did notice that my sterio had turned on once,i dont know if thats anything to do with the prob,

i think it looks like i need to rip it all out and put my other alarm im,its a talking alarm but thers no way of changing what is said its onlt armed and dis armed,
