Alarm problems on a mk2 mondeo
Got intermittant alarm probs on my mk2 mondeo-i'll go a journey and park car and sometimes after being parked for 10 minutes the alarm will go off for no reason-i will then turn alarm off and wait a while-re-arm it and its fine-have read on a mondeo forum that quite often the bonnet pin switch plays up, so i disconnected that and tested that with a multimeter and it tested fine- but still alarm is playing up occasionally-any idea's?

The only way around it is to lock the car manually (yours a 97 onwards with the plip remote?)
That should overcome the problem but you wont have the alarm active (but the immobiliser will be).

been thinking about it last nite-and it only happens when the passenger door has been opened-so im thinking must be a dodgy connnection on that door.

Tap your bonnet pin switch 10 or so times to enter diagnostic/test mode (once you've reconnected it
). The horn will briefly sound when it goes into diagnostic mode and every time you trigger a sensor. So you can check each door/boot etc.After 30seconds of inactivty it will exit diagnostic mode giving a double beep on the horn

been out in car today with a passenger-drove for 15 mins parked up-no false alarm-then drove another 4 miles and alarm goes of for no reason-i then got passenger to only use back door then-drove for another 15 mins and still alarm then gives false alarm-did this twice then-then it worked ok again-so about an hour later i did the alarm test and checked every door etc and bonnet and everything shows up as ok-could it be the heat getting to the bonnet pin switch?

As far as i can tell my car hasn't got interior sensors so air moving inside car shouldn't set alarm off
