2004 RR Random Alarm

Today drove the sultan around the roads for a bit. Came back home and parked it in the garage. 5 minutes later the alarm goes off. It wasn't a burglar, a low battery or a call for attention (as it gets plenty and it knows it). So has anyone experienced anything similar?


Thanks,

Hey Stan, would the switch need to be replaced or is it an adjustment I have to make. Also where exactly is it located on the hood (bonnet*)?

Thanks,

Mine does the random alarm thing now and again too... Normally its the bonnet switch (make sure its not been leant on) and only just touches the bonnet Thumbs Up

Check the bonnet switch first as per the above replies. It was the problem on my 4.2 SC as well. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

Just disconnect it for a few days, if all is well try the adjustments , if the adjustments fail it's new switch time
