Hi

Am new to the forum-have found it useful before I registered with the FAQ's - thanks everyone!

I have a renault scenic dynamique 2004. I am being driven to distraction by the constant problems with the alarm going off for no apparent reason. Think we've come to the conclusion that it is the bonnet sensor, however, it was a second hand car from a garage and it is apparent that the rear bumper has been replaced - am guessing that this could affect the sensor in the boot.

How I wish I could deactivate the alarm to get a good nights sleep - the only solution we have found is to leave it unlocked with the key card left in it!!!

There is no sensor inside the boot. The outer perimeter of the car relies on door, boot or bonnet switches to activate the alarm and the interior is guarded by volimetric sensors.

As the bonnet switch is a common problem I suggest you check it out first.

Hi, thanks for replying. How do I test the bonnet, boot or door switches that activate the alarm?:d
