Hello all!
The better than expected weather last weekend had me scrabbling to take the hard top off for the first time since I bought my VX last September and go for a blast down to the South Coast. I dashed indoors to grab some bits and pieces before setting off and, in my haste, forgot that I had locked the car when I reached in to open the boot. The alarm went off and I quickly reset it with the key fob.
I pulled into petrol station a few hours later and noticed that once I had switched the engine off, the alarm LED came on for about 5 seconds, flashed 3 times, then came on for another 5 seconds. This pattern repeated a few more times before the LED finally went off. Unless I'm going mad, I don't remember the LED coming on before as soon as I switched off the engine. Locking the door and setting the alarm caused the LED to flash normally.
I'm not too worried about this, because the car still moves
and I guess the alarm must still be working, but wondered if this has happened on anyone else's VX. I had picked the car up from VXL that morning after they had it to repair a crack in the rear clam shell (someone backed into the side of the car in a car park, not having seen me
) and they mentioned that the battery had run flat, but I don't suppose that is the cause of the blinking LED.
As a law abiding newbie, I have duly searched the site, but haven't come across anything similar.
