Re: How do you turn on the alarm system? S40-V40 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be Arno Griffioen on  Thu Nov 2 06:01 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I think most things you can do to disable (parts of) the alarm system reset themselves after driving the car. Check your user manual for details, because I only know the European version and the US one may be different.

Perhaps the system is detecting a problem with a door/hood/trunk contact. If one is not 'closed' it probably won't activate.

Microswitch for the hood is on the latch in my V40 2.0T with factory alarm. Perhaps someone bumped/damaged it.

Just guessing here..

Bye, Arno.
