Car Alarm problems

[BooBoKF]

Hi smileys/smiley17.gif

Firstly, thanks to y'all who replied to my question re: installing the Pioneers speakers in my Saxo VTR back in January...Got there eventually after getting those goddamn rivets out!!!

However, 2 weeks after I installed the speakers, the car alarm has started going off around 10 minutes after I lock it.
Reason I mention the two together is that I disconnected the negative connection on battery to install speakers. This should have prompted the alarm to go off…It didn’t…
When the negative was reconnected, the alarm went off as expected.
Would this indicate a /dying dead alarm battery?

On another note, the previous owner told me that it had happened to him a few times previously. Apparently bad weather had previously set it off.
Well living in Ireland, we never really get what you could class as good weather so why is it starting now?

Any ideas, clues, recommendation etc??

Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks!!

um...think this is the wrong forum, and its been posted millions of times, happens to me, its the interior sensors. You can replace the sensors, or just deactivate the interior alarm by holding in that button on the dash, and then lock it, only arming the exterior alarm, thats what I do...

Yeah I just realised It's the wrong area!!!
Leave me alone, I'm a newbie!! smileys/smiley13.gif

I did try and de-activate the alarm before by holding the button on dash before but it made no difference...alarm went off again in 10 minutes
