Since I treated the top yesterday and it drizzled this morning, I put the Boxster in the garage. While it has been in the garage (about 5 hours) the alarm has gone off 3 times. The garage is closed and there is nothing moving in the garage. There might be a fly in the garage, but nothing bigger than that. I'm not sure why it would be going off as it hasn't done that AFAIK before. I also noticed that when I re-arm the alarm/lock the car, the little light on the dash flashes very fast (like 3 times) as it always does when I lock it, then it flashes 21 times quickly, then settles into its normal slow flash. Is there any significance to those flashes? I checked the doors, glove box, and trunk lids and they are all secure. Is a faulty alarm module the only thing that could be causing this?

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.

Top up. I released the top and reclamped it. It hasn't gone off again since the original post.
