Suggestion
They used to provide really cheap ultrasonic sensors which very expensive alarms, which meant they needed replacing after a few years.

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.

My 95 C4 Cab was in at the OPC on Friday for its new wiring harness, and since then the alarm has been going off for no apparent reason. It is a 3rd party alarm (Laserline) though I assume they are all much the same, and its diagnostics seem to suggest a problem with the interior movement sensor.I will be trying to get OPC to take a look, though I suspect they may plead ignorance of any non Porsche equipment. But how likely is it that the wiring harness replacement could have disturbed the alarm wiring - ie does the engine wiring loom extend into the cabin, or does the alarm wiring extend into the engine compartment ?I suspect this is going to be a pain to resolve due to its intermittent nature - it can be fine for several hours and then keep going off - just when we and the neighbours are trying to get to sleep !

Not Replying to this message, but I noticed you posted one back in April re your brake pressure light coming on. My Turbo 993 has the same problem - often goes out when re-starting... Did you find out what the problem was?
Many thanks.

Richard,
Off topic I know but to answer your Q. all C4's and turbo's have a diffrent way of pressurising the brake system. The C2's have a vacuum pump. According to my specialist this is perfectly normal (Assuming it's only staying on for less than 30 secs or so that is)- mine does it too.
Takes longer to go out in colder weather too.
Cheers,
Don

It (the brake light, not the alarm) still stays on very occasionally (with no sign of eventually going off), and always just turning the ignition off and on briefly cures it - I do it while moving so I can just bump start the car.
Re the alarm post (in case anyone is interested), it seems to have settled down. I can only summise that having the battery disconnected for the 5 hour harness recall job, upset the movement sensor in some way.

Check the little sensors are not flapping around loose. Very rarely my windscreen sensor comes a little loose and sets off the alarm.
Cabin air blower intakes can set some alarms off unless closed.
They used to provide really cheap ultrasonic sensors which very expensive alarms, which meant they needed replacing after a few years. Not sure if this is still the case.
