Hi All.
Bit of history.
When I bought my '00 C2 the key fob didn't work. No problem, open the door via the key and pop the key in the ignition nice and quick. Bit of a pain but liveable.
After a few years of this decided to splash out on a new remote key fob - happiness and joy! Remote central locking working perfectly.
Maybe 18 months ago I started to get a double beep when I locked the car. Locking seemed to work fine, so put it on the 'to do' list and never got round to fixing anything.
a few months ago alarm starts going off in the middle of the night. no lights, so I actually thought it was someone else's car. This happens rarely every few months, annoying but no obvious cause. I check the codes and get a code:
34 - passenger compartment monitoring sensor
Happily thinking this was my issue I purchase a second hand dome light thingy. Numbers all match, fit the new part, still get a double beep when locking.
Clearly not the issue, decide to refit the original part to see if the codes come back.
Recently (last few weeks) the car has been going berserk whenever I unlock it with the fob - unlocks perfectly happily but sometimes the alarm will immediately go off, sometimes when I open the door, it will stop and start three of four times even when I've started the engine! Clearly the immobiliser if not stopping the car from starting.
Read the codes over the weekend and got a good selection:
1 - Door(s) secured and terminal 15 on
34 - Passenger compartment monitoring sensor
43 - Passenger side release stuck
49 - K Lead
61 - Central locking limit position Unlock not reached
Cleared these and old faithful (number 34) came back after a lock/unlock/double beep.
A lot of codes, wondered if this was caused by a low battery - checked and it's at 11.6V which is a little low so charged it up overnight last night and refitted this morning - and the alarm immediately goes off again!! Battery is pretty new.
I think that is pretty much the full experience.
Having read through all of this I might try refitting the replacement passenger sensor to see if it clears up my alarm issue. But other than that I'm a bit lost!
