3am the other morning myself and neighbours woken up by my Discovery 2 Alarm going off, ran down stairs with baseball bat in hand and out into the yard to find alarm going off and interior lights on but doors all locked.
pressed open button on key fob and alarm went off. opened and closed doors and pressed lock button on key fob, one beep and interior lights stayed on.
had to resort to removing middle bulb and switching front and rear courtesy lights to off position and leaving the car unlocked for the fear of the alarm going off again.
symptoms now are, interior lights stay on even when engine running and driving also when activating door locking and alarm, also alarm makes single beep when locking doors from either fob or key in door.
only way i can leave the car semi secure is to turn off interior lights and press the lock button on key fob, this locks doors and i still get a single beep. also light around ignition key stays illuminated for quite sometime but is off next day when i go to it. At this point the key fob wont unlock the doors and have to unlock it with key which sets the alarm going until i disarm it by turning ignition on.
have tried disconnecting battery for a while, no change on reconnection.
have tried shorting bonnet switch, have tested bonnet switch,
passenger front door was not unlocking or locking so bought a new latch and fitted it hoping it might be the problem, no change, have checked connections to all latches by removing all door cards, all look dry clean and good.
am at my wits end and given up now, can anyone please shed some light on my problem, one problem after another and probably the worst car i have ever had the pleasure of owning.
Many thanks
Paddy
