I have a few questions about the alarm that didn't seem to be answered in this thread: https://forums.tdiclub.com/index.php?threads/alarm-keeps-going-off-even-while-unlocked.458839/
I started getting frequent, random false alarms last week. Before I spend time dismantling the door to replace the doo-dads therein, I'd like to be certain the problem is indeed the driver's door. So here's the problem: when I switch the dome light to door activation, the light is always on, presumably because one of the door switches is mistakenly signaling open. Opening and closing individual doors doesn't change anything. I'm sure there's an easy way to ascertain which door switch is causing the problem, but I can't think of it. Can you?
And while you're thinking about electronic conundra, ponder this: I had to replace the battery. After I did, the false alarms stopped. Coincidence? Any chance the low battery had anything to do with the false alarms.
Also: my sunroof randomly opens into the tilt position. In this thread, I saw the recommendation to clean the switch: https://forums.tdiclub.com/index.php?threads/sunroof-spontaneously-opens-then-closes.230512/ Any additional info?
