Hi all,
I'm having issues with the hazard lights on my 197 flashing randomly. The only way to turn them off is by opening the car and hiting the hazard switch.
At first I suspected it was actually the alarm going off but with a broken siren, but when I camped recently overnight and the proximity card was too cold to open the car, I used the key, and the siren went off so that still works.
Now, if I deactivate the ultrasonics with the 5xstart button trick, the issue never occurs, so I think it IS alarm related somehow.
I've read about water getting into the alarm, and some have suggested disconnecting it. I checked the drain holes under the scuttle plate and it's all dry under there, but where exactly is the alarm located in the 197? I couldn't see it under the bonnet or under the scuttle plate. Is it in one of the arches?
I've also seen something about the live feed interfering with ultrasonics. Any truth to this one?
Cheers
James
