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.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello running into an issue troubleshooting an alarm problem on my '01 986S. Symptom: - note: LED alarm light doesn't seen to work, i am basing the flashes based on the clicks on the relay I hear (led light at the centre of the dash) - Blinkers/headlights will go off on a 2 flashes per second (continuously) closest alarm status seems to be door-safe mode. - The trigger appears to be when I use the windows / or it's a coincidence and it's at random. Since the LED light isn't on, I can only assume based on the clicking of the relay that the headlight blinking should be in sync with the LED light. (2 flashes/second - does not end or display a different pattern) The alarm control unit was sent in to ecu repair by the prev. owner. As needed I can send it into warranty if it appears this is the issue, but wanted to try troubleshooting before sending it back in. I've also already cleaned /checked the terminal connections for the alarm control unit. Connections look clean and good, but still cleaned it anyway.
