RS1T Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 You mean the bonnet sensor? Would do except the connecting clip has completely rusted away, and the switch is rusted and stuck down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shebabby Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 r8 mate aslong as the wire doesnt touch the body the alarm should think the bonnet is closed !the wire should be an earth ?as for the boot sensore it should run either side ov the boot latch (two black box's)!!XXXXXXXXXXXXXXok my bad the boot switch is in the catch !!

johngreen537 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 May just be the battery on the way out. So the alarm power is getting lower!Get your multimeter on it When ignition off, I'd expect a good battery to have 13-14V of power....When engine is running, alternator should be pushing out minimum of 14V too, put multimeter on battery terminals when the engine is running!
