Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can anyone let me know how to check to see if the siren is working on the alarm apart from setting the alarm and putting a brick through the window.I have a sneaky feeling that the siren is not working alarm sets perfect also if you leave parcel or console box ajar the warning sound sounds. Kind regards Brian

POST 2Original post

I found out on mine (so im assuming yours will to), if you lock the car with the fob then try opening the windows with the key in the door. It set my alarm off when i tried it.

POST 3Original post

I think most early 996's do that Chris, but not the later ones. Brian - why not try leaving the windows wide open when you lock the car, and after the alarm has set (LED in windscreen single-flashing at 2 sec intervals) lean inside to trigger the motion sensor.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Many thanks will give it a try

POST 5Original post

Thinking about it again, if you unlock the door with the key you have 10 seconds to get the key in the ignition and switched on or the alarm will go off.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Many thanks for all the replies am happy to report that the siren is operating fine. Kind regards Brian

POST 7Original post
