Hi, just joined the forum after buying a 2014 Berlingo van.
I brought it home yesterday only to be rudely awoken by the thing last night 5:30 am by the alarm (the alarm just sounds like someone has held the horn down & the lights flash repeatedly). Ran outside scantily clad in the early hours so as not to annoy the neighbours to turn the bloody thing off.
After turning the alarm off and going back to bed it sort of chirped the horn a few times but didn't go off again while I sweated in bed. Further to this it's just gone off again this afternoon (same scenario - alarm followed by chirping after shutting off a few times).
The first instinct might be the key fob so i've ordered two new batteries arriving tomorrow - cynical as I am, I'm almost sure this won't silence this yob I've just brought home (misses is not impressed). Another part of me thinks maybe the battery is tripping it and may need a new one?
Has anyone else had this, would really appreciate any advice i.e. where the sensors are located etc?
