Citroen XM Forum

Hi all

My alarm has just gone off, and i cannot silence it !

Iv'e tried unlocking with the remote to no avail, ive also tried to silence it by turning the thingy under the bonnet also to no avail !!!, there is no sign of break in or anything,

Is there another way to shut it up ????

Thats pissed a few neighbours off

Try turning the ignition on and pressing the alarm button. The key should silence it so suspect the alarm is faulty or has water in.

I'll try that in the moring now, it's a bit late , 'n' the certians are twitching in the close, , so ill give it a go when it's light
Iv'e disconnected the battery for now,
Iv'e even tried taking out no 27 fuse out, as per owners manual , but it still sounds

Keep you posted

Thanks for that


Nigel

You will need to recode the radio if you've disconnected the battery: the instructions were in the glove box, and you have the code.

This happened once with my other XM: you need to do as Dieselman says.

Thanks Phil.

Yes it's sitting very silent at ht he moment

Iv'e taken the origonal radio out and fitted a cd player, but yes thanks ,when it goes back in i'll have all the necessary info to code it,

I will try that in the morning, as i have to go to jolly Haywards Heath tomorrow , so hope it sorts it out

Noooo !


That didn't work either

So drastic steps had to be taken, 'n' i cut the bloody wires to the siren !! ,bugger to get to !!, still all works ok , just no siren now !!

Because the front bumpeer will be coming off for a respray soon , i'll have a look at it then , and replace if necessary

That is drastic

I've had alarm problems like this when the battery charge is a bit low or when I've had the battery out and reconnected it.

The alarm module is above the passenger footwell - black or grey box, about 6"x 4"x 1"- if you unplug it the alarm will stop.

Ahhh , didn't know that one !! , i tried everything , dunno what set it off even, but the good news is that the bumper will be coming off very soon for a spray up. Soooo i'll fix it up then, either with the old one or a replacement
