hi i recently bought a omega 2 litre gls. but i cant lock it as the alarm keeps going off, but only seems to happen in day light. which if i leave it all day can flaten the battery. its an s reg, but it seems to be coming from the horn the noise so im guessing i cant just disconnect the alarm? or can i? as at the moment i cant leave the car locked. which is a little annoying. any thoughts anyone?
thanks in advance

Hi John and welcome to the forum.

I would start by unplugging the sensor in the engine bay.

IIRC its fixed to the power steering reservoir. When there's work done to the car, it tends to get bent and not make contact with the bonnet. There could be a number of issues, but this is a common one and easy to start with.

Found it and disconnected it. I'll keep you up dated. It would be great if it was that simple! Now I've found a pool of water in the footwell. Thanks for your help. John
