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

I'm having some alarm problems and would like to lock the car without activating the alarm. I read the manual and still need an answer. The manual talks about an 'emergency' lock by turning the key 3 times but then says that all 'good' alarm points are activated. Can I just pull a fuse or will that mess other things up? The top micro-switch is the problem. I locked the car with the oddments tray unlatched (and got the short beep) thinking that would disable the alarm but it still went off one time. I don't want to leave the top unlatched overnight in the driveway. Thanks for any help. mike And yes, I'm going to get a new switch.

The micro-switch could just be stuck - common. You could try working a stick or something similar in the switch opening to try and unstick it. This often works.
