Hi All,
I usually find what I need amongst the excellent previous posts, so this is my first time asking a specific question.
Our Elddis Prestige 115 has developed a growling sound coming from the offside windscreen / door pillar, where the Autowatch 695RLC alarm status light is located. This happens as we drive along. The sound lasts a few minutes and then is silent. The fun starts when we have to stop. We arrived at our campsite on Friday, got out of the cab and the full alarm goes off without being activated, it also doesn't respond immediately to the disarm button on the Peugeot key fob. This time it did respond to the Autowatch remote disarm button.
When returning from Bristol area on Monday we stopped at Gloucester services and had no problems with the alarm, so we decided to head to a National Trust property near Hereford on our way home to Shrewsbury. During the journey the alarm 'growled' at us again and when we stopped we had the full siren sound. We were unable to stop it this time and had no option but to drive off, with everyone giving us dirty looks. The alarm made more strange noises and eventually stopped until we arrived home and got out of the cab again. The alarm would not respond to the disarm function so I tried in desperation the arm button, it bleeped as usual and then stopped when disarmed.
We have locked the vehicle with key only for now. This is the second trip we have had problems, so we replaced PIR batteries and key fob batteries. Our previous problem with bonnet switch was resolved with plate fixed to bonnet lining and we have had no problems with the rear door sensor. The vehicle has been locking and alarming normally up to now.
We have contacted a local Autowatch installer but they can't look at it until mid June and we would like to go away again before then.
Does anyone know if we can disarm the system temporarily by removing a fuse or by other means, until we can get the alarm repaired.
Cheers,
John and Tracy
