Has anyone had probs with the alrm on the C70 convertable. Mine is constantly going off for no reason, especially early morning. My dealer says its just very sensitive beacause its a convertable, but I think thats rubbish.

Anyone got any advice, I need a full nights sleep ( and so does everyone else who lives near me !!)

Thanks

I had the same problem on a 2001 S60. After a month of research (me and the dealer), and alarm going off early in the morning (I had to pull the relay every night), we found it was the remote control. Got a new one and problem is gone.

Try putting your remotes (both) in the microwave overnight and see if the problem is gone (don't turn on the microwave), or just take the battery off both of your remotes.

Try this and let me know if this takes care of your problem.

Depending on where you live, I can think of 3 reasons why your alarm would often be triggered during the night:

1. Cats - they like to climb on cars, plus the hood will have residual heat (nice and warm). Some mothballs around the car will discourage them.
2. Raccoons - nocturnal and always looking for food. Do you leave any food inside? Raccoons are habitual and will return at about the same time every night. Remove all food and park in a different location for a few nights to change their habit.
3. Supersonic planes. Do you live along the Northeast flight paths? The Washington and New York to Europe flights fly along the coast up to Canada before crossing the Atlantic. Military aircraft fly early in the morning in many areas, when commercial traffic is light; do you live within 100 miles of an airbase?
