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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I ran into an issue with my factory alarm last night. I attempted to lock the doors/arm the alarm with the button on the key and the turn signal indicators activated twice and a few seconds later the horn activated. I have had this happen in the past when a door was not shut all the way. I checked all the doors, engine compartment, hood, sunroof...everything was closed. Is this normal? If so, the horn did not activate for the first month when I armed the alarm (the turn signal indicators have always flashed twice when armed). Can anyone shed any light on this for me? Thanks, Keith Z

POST 2Original post

According to the manual for my 2000, the little ashtray-like compartment in the center pedestal needs to be closed too. Did you check that? Try cycling it open and closed a couple of times. Otherwise, I'd say you have a real problem.

POST 3Original post

Scott - Standby as I just bought that 996 I was thinking about. Not sure when papers will be ready, but the dealer will let me know. Arena red 996 tip.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Scott, You hit the nail on the head. I open and closed that small compartment and the alarm set up without any additional problems. Thank you very much! Keith Z
