the NATS alarm on my K11 has been behaving erratically in recent months.
When i use the key fob (looks like that standard fob that you get with micras that have remote central locking) to lock the car it beeps once and the doors all lock as well as the alarm arming itself. I should probably also mention that there are two red LED lights on my dash; one is in the usual place near the heating dials (this one seems to flash to inndicate that the immobiliser is active when the key is out of the ingnition), and the other is next to the headlight alignment switch. This begins flashing when the alarm is armed. Everything is fine when the car locks/arms the alarm like this.
But sometimes when I hit the lock button, the car does as mentioned, and then after about five seconds or so there are three consecutive beeps. The alarm seems to arm after these beeps. Whenever the car is secured this way, the alarm almost always goes off (usually at annoyingly early hours of the morning
). I took the car to a local garage but the mechanic couldn't figure out what it might be. It didn't help that the car wouldn't lock with the three delayed beeps whilst I was there. It seemed to behave itself. Maybe my K11 is possessed lol
Anyway, thought I might ask the good folks here to see if anyone might know what the problem could be. Btw, the mechanic did say that intermittent behaviour (especially where electronics are concerned) are normally due to water damage. I hope not.
