Im confused (it doesnt take much, but hear me out...lol)
My car has sensors & the sensor deactivator button, but no working alarm.
I have searched through here for answers and still no joy. I have tried opening the bonnet (just on latch) and pressing the fob- no beep, just lights as usual when it locks. I locked myself in the car and tried to set the sensors off- nothing. I read about dead locking the car, but mine is preplexed, so no dead lock I am aware of...
So, I appear to have the kit for an alarm, but its either broken, missing or im just really stupid...lol
Help would be appreciated from you loverly people please :o)
Thanks
Lou x

Try locking the car with the larger one then press the smaller one straight after. This will dead lock it, then unlock the car manually using the key in the door lock, as you then open the door the alarm should sound.
Hope that helps.

Ive read that the sensors arn't motion sensors, so what could it be folks?
Cheers :o)

If it doesnt, then new sensors. about £27 from pug, around 20mins fitting.

Their about £25 from pug and quite easy to fit yourself (pug will want about £95 all in). There is a guide on here under the "how to" section
