The window drop sensor that was replaced is the one on either of the internal or external (most likely) handles and plays no part in the alarm or locking system.

So, out for a spin today and I can lock the car from the inside but, my neighbour came out and whilst the car is locked he can open the passenger door so clearly whatever they've fitted to fix the window drop issue is the problem.

The problem is that now the car doesn't lock at all and double beeps as soon as I enable the alarm using either the fob or key, and, unlocks the car.

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

Good evening all, I'll keep this as concise as possible. A few weeks ago I dropped my car off at the indie I use with a few issues that I wanted sorting. First issue was the passenger side window not staying in the dropped position after opening...all sorted with a new sensor. Second issue was a double beep on locking the car after 11 seconds although the car was locked. Picked her up this morning after having a few issues sorted apart from the interior movement sensor that was diagnosed as faulty hence the issue with the alarm. The part required is on backorder at the moment. The problem is that now the car doesn't lock at all and double beeps as soon as I enable the alarm using either the fob or key, and, unlocks the car. Anyone got any ideas..? I've messaged the indie who reckons the car should still lock as the interior sensor is still plugged in. Can I disable that part of the alarm separately and temporarily..? Would the new door lock/sensor have anything to do with it perhaps..? Appreciate any words of wisdom offered. Cheers. Si

POST 2Original post

the problem with alarm systems is that if you start having issues, finding the issues is outside the ability of even PIWIS, the option might be to remove the whole system and put in a new one but it sounds like a door sensor is not doing it's job from what you have mentioned, seems like the obvious place to start it's alarm or nothing

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I agree as the passenger door latch just doesn't make the right noise on opening. You know how a house room door feels when it's only just latched...this feels the same so I'm guessing the car thinks the door is still open. As one door closes another opens it seems as the window drop is fixed now the car won't lock.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So, out for a spin today and I can lock the car from the inside but, my neighbour came out and whilst the car is locked he can open the passenger door so clearly whatever they've fitted to fix the window drop issue is the problem.

POST 5Original post

If your interior lights go off when you shut the doors then it has nothing to do with them. The window drop sensor that was replaced is the one on either of the internal or external (most likely) handles and plays no part in the alarm or locking system. sounds to me like the garage has buggered something else up whilst fitting the door handle/window drop sensor.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Cheers Alex, I tend to agree and will be taking the car back to them next week for further diagnosis.
