306 alarm - help!

Hi,
I have the 306 'alarm intermittently goes off for no reason'
problem. When I use the steering column switch to turn off the
interior alarm then it stops going off for no reason, so it must be
the interior sensors. Has anyone had this problem and fixed it?

I have read that you should make sure all vents are closed as the
sensors are sensitive to air pressure/movement. I have also read that
removing and replacing the alarm units fuse, in the fuse box, has made
the same problem go away on other peoples cars.

I have tried shutting the vents but that makes no difference, haven't
tried removing the fuse yet.

Any other ideas, before I try that?

Cheers,
R.

 

The siren being waterlogged also can cause random alarm activations but
this sounds like a faulty ultrasound sensor if disabling the sensors stops
the problem.

Sorry I meant ultrasonic sensor.

I did have a problem with my alarm on a 96 405. Probably the same basic
system. The alarm went off at random

I found that one of the interior lights was switched to the "off" position.
Restoring this so that all the interior lights were lit when doors opened
fixed the problem.(Don't ask me why) . Using the alarm key on the 405 only
disables the siren. It will still flash the headlamps if it activates.

Other than that, get replacement sensors from a scrapyard and see if that
makes a difference. Peugeot charge the most outrageous prices for spare
parts.

I had a Laserline system fitted to an older 405. Very reliable and being
wireless, much more secure.

Ask if you can have the alarm disabled(405 alarm can be disabled) maybe
depends on the year of your 306

The imobiliser protecting against theft of the car would seem to be enough
and the dash LED will still flash although it only operates the C/L with the
plip.

 

another point about getting a laserline fitted is the lifetime warranty
