Alarm keeps going off

[Arif]

Hi,

 

I have a Civic 1.4 2006. Recently changed the car battery and ever since the car alarm keeps going off. It's so annoying!! I've had to isolate the positive terminal of the battery as it was waking up the neighbours at night. Does anyone know of how to resolve this issue? How to reset or fix it? Would appreciate any help!

Thnx

Arif

Hi Arif.....welcome to the Forum

 

I would imagine it is a faulty door sensor
If you close and open each door in turn and see if the interior light goes out after opening and closing each one  (may be delayed slightly) and then if one does not either turn the light on or off then it is a faulty sensor.

Alternatively, if you are going to remove a terminal, it is best to remove the negative terminal and not the positive.

 

Let us know what you find

Thank you Trevor. Will definitely give it a try. Why is it better to remove the negative terminal instead of the positive one?
