Hi,
my car alarm is going off randomly, tellingly without the accompanying indicator lights flashing. Having read around it looks like I am having the very common problem of water from the rear wiper pipe feed leaking into the boot lock mechanism and causing a fault in the microswitch.
I tried to remove the rear plastic in the boot to get access to the mechanism but I wasn't able to work out how to do it. I removed 2 screws in the plastic (the only ones I could see) but wasn't sure which way to pull/push etc. Can anyone direct me as to what i need to do in order to be able to get to the boot microswitch
In the interim, is there a way to disable the alarm? Can I just disconnect the battery? The car kept my neighbours up overnight and I won't get a chance to fix the problem until later in the week so I must disengage the alarm ASAP!
Thanks for all help
