Alarm In Hot Weather Going Off !

[moriwaki]

Did a search and found you can knock off the motion sensors to stop alarm going off due to heat... {also remove coins etc from centre console as this can also set it off !}....So how do you switch them off ?....its embarrasing

Ooops sorry...early 97 mk 3 LS 400...I have removed the change etc from the ashtray area ...so we will see...I tried locking the car with the window down and leaned in and waved my arm around but it did'nt go off...

If it like my 95, with a separate alarm fob to the key, then there is a small switch on the side of the alarm fob. That switch controls whether to arm the motion sensors - think the alarm bleeps differently as well when it is being set (but I can't remember how!)

I have same problem with motion sensors on My LS400 95, when its cold! Funny that.

Anyway, if you have the seperate fob for locking/unlocking, with the slider button on one side, you will find one position flashes the indicators and beeps 3 times. This equalls Motion sensors on. And the other position flashes the indicators and beeps 2 times. This equals Motion sensors off.

Hope it helps. If anyone has any idea what may be triggering the motion sensors, I'd love to hear about it
