I had all four the indicators flashing over the weekend ,I found the alarm unit above the passenger footwell clicking away . My dog had knocked the cardboard footwell cover and the unit had fallen down ,the unit didn't like being shaken or laying on it's side . I tucked it back up and jammed it against the foam block with a big lump of foam rubber and it's been fine since but it got me wondering , is there a motion detector in the green box ?
Living in very sparsely populated north east Scotland ,I really don't need an alarm and don't need the problems that could come from a dodgy alarm unit . My last old disco ,a 1996 300tdi didn't have much in the electric windows and only had three doors so when the alarm started to take the **** ,I dumped it ,lost the central locking , but gained reliability .wiring directly from the ignition switch . I can't do that with the current disco ,far too many electrical gadgets .
So , If I earth the wire from the starter relay that normally earths via the alarm ,can I ensure the alarm can't leave me stranded if it goes fubar ?
