Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

4 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

There are only two things that need attention on my 99 C2. A refreshing change from my old 928. One is the height adjustment on the drivers seat which I think I can figure out. The other is what I think is a fault with the alarm. It seems like it sets OK and the led on the dash flashes but it beeps at me twice a short time after I set it. I'm pretty sure that's an indication that something isn't quite right unless it's just saying bye bye as I walk away. Boy I'll be glad when I get the owners manual from the dealer that sold me the car. Is it a fault? If so, any common causes before I start digging? I'll also chance my luck as a newbie by asking if anyone knows where one might get one's hands on a schematic? In deference to John D's request an off list reply would be appreciated. Thanks Colin

POST 2Original post

Yes. A beep means one of more sensors are triggered. Most obvious causes are: sunroof open/vent open, center console storage box not shut tight or microswitch bad, front trunk microswitch bad. There are other causes that your dealer can readout with a PST2 tester but these are most common.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Loren, I'll have a quick look at the things you mentioned to see if there's anything obvious. Colin

POST 4Original post

hey colin, I had the same problem checked all the doors, sunroof, center console, couldnt find the problem. Then I decided to open up the front trunk locking mechanism. That is where the problem was in my case. I just made a slight adjustment in the locking mechanism (the microswitch Loren speaks of) and everything is ok now.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
