my scorpio just got its mot done, came home, 12 hrs later the alarm went off, no reason, again i drove it home locked it, walked away it went off within 10 secs, reset it and it aint went off for an hour, any advice,
the garage just did a little weld and changed steering gaitor and tracked it, sidenote, it seems to steer to left after its tracked, tyre pressure ok.
only other thing is i opened sunroof and closed it that was 2 days ago tho
other point is 3 days ago the key in the ignition made a beep noise 3 times, now it doesnt, car starts fine

Hi Stuarte, Could possibly be the bonnet switch not connecing properly when it is shut. Lee

went 97 mile drive, thought it would surely be fully charged, im sure it always was, anyway, 5 hrs later alarm went off, so i left the car unlocked all night.
im considering pulling the spade terminal out alarm horn, so if it goes off it makes no sound, i did this with my old mondeo estate, horn was in side panel off boot.
where is alarm horn on scorpio, its diif from the standard horn, i know my alarm is ok, cos the red light flashes and goes off shortly after key in ignition unlike my old mondeo which red light stayed light.

The alarm horn is just behind the battery, you can just get to it with the battery in situ.............

in theory how long will alarm sound before it stops, i understand its 30 secs, but will it just repeat cycle again and again, so i have a choice disconnect spade or leave doors unlocked.
last night i ran down stairs, no clothes on opened door and pointed remote like mad at scorpio, gave up, ended up using key, middle of night. prob woke up neighbours
update pulled out spade terminal, hope it dont do any harm

Just remembered simplest thing to do is unplug the bonnet switch, that disables the alarm. Can lock it as normal then.
When this bit of welding was done, where was it?

On mine the 2-pin cable connector was undone and loose when I got it, could be it's tied / clipped up somewhere (?)
