Alfa 147 - Double beep when arming alarm.
Hi,
I understand the double beeps signify a fault with the alarm. Anyone know how to diagnose the fault ? TIA, Ash |

Second beep on arming means usually means something is open. Occasionally my 156 beeps a second time. Opening and closing the boot usually sorts it... |

I tried opening and closing doors....but no joy, still beeps twice.
I read in the manual that when arming the alarm, the LED on the key fob should blink several times. Mine doesn't, it just blinks once even though its I've put in a new battery.

This sounds as you are trying to lock the doors/booth and it fails doing so.
That's the same for the electronics as "opening" which gives 2 bleeps. Usually the booth lid lock is the cause. Open the booth, take a screw driver (or a thin finger) and push the turning part of the lock in the lid FULLY in until it locks mechanically (you can always unlock it again by pushing the metal part next to the sliding/turning part) You should also notice that the booth light will switch off. This is the signal for the central locking system that the booth lid is closed. Then push the lock button of your remote and see what happens. By the way, if this is the case, you usually will also have the warning light on your dash indicating an open booth whereas is reality it is locked! Good luck. -- Ciao from Holland AlfistaGJ (Gert-Jan) Alfa red 156 SW 1.8 Madeno tuned (2000) Golden Montreal 1428700 (1973/4) "Ash" > schreef in bericht news:02UAc.27$Kc4.11@newsfe6-win... > I tried opening and closing doors....but no joy, still beeps twice. > > I read in the manual that when arming the alarm, the LED on the key fob > should blink several times.

I tied this..but still no joy.
I've also just read that when disarming the alarm and not opening any doors, the doors should automatically lock after 60 seconds. Mine doesn't. Time for the dealership I think.

There is a microswitch inside the bonnet catch which will cause the second beep if the bonnet isn't shut properly. has.mac |
