Alarm issues after accident
Recently involved in an RTA rear shunt to vehicle. After which the alarm keeps going off. Reported this to the garage and drive assist as a problem as did not do it before the accident.
The car came back after three weeks and about 12 hrs after sitting on the drive the alarm continues to go off about every 30 mins. Informed the garage and drive assist and they said it was not related to the accident.
Their apparent experts Incident Management Solutions (FYI they do not even physically look or examine the car) stated that the alarm issue was not related.
Can anyone help me with examples of why the alarm would still be going off after the accident?

Ford alarm systems are usually located in the n/s rear wing. Have a look and see if anything is obviously damaged or not correctly replaced after the damage repairs.

The alarm on my 53 plate Ford Fiesta Zetec keeps going off randomly. This only happens at night (usually between 0000-0400). I stop it with the remote key (keep it by the bed now!) and when I go down...
The door open sensor says the right hand door is still open on my 206.
I have a 53-Plate Vauxhall and every night the alarm goes off at 3am. Why is that? I have disconnected the battery, but it's too much hassle if you need to go out early in the morning.
