The Alarm goes off unpredictably in any period between a few hours and a couple of days if the car's been parked that long. It sounds for about a minute, resets, then may not go off again for many hours more. It's a 1998 S40 1.6xs and always kept in my garage. I haven't noticed the alarm light indicate fault by rapid flashing as mentioned elsewhere.
I've checked the battery, various connectors, the fuse box, swapped relays and the door/boot/bonnet switches seem ok. I'm unsure where the exact alarm fuse or alam unit are located.
Is there any known issue with the S40 Alarm system?
Does the system record alarm events and what triggered them? If necessary, can the alarm be disabled?
Any advice appreciated.
