Hey guys, so ive just had my cluster repaired by a specialist company, all they did was put in a new lcd and change a couple of leds.

Since reinstalling last night, everytime i lock the car the hazards go crazy and blink rapidly.
What could be causing this?

Cheers

May also be worth noting the alarm doesnt sound and the lights blink as soon as i lock the car, but they stop after 5 mins and dont flash again
 
Two faults i guess.

One, your alarm siren is faulty, so infact the whole alarm is going off, and only the indicators are flashing. Very common for the siren on these cars to have failed by now.

Two, if its an early facelift car, the cluster has a connection back to the alarm system. I've had the issue a few times where a PFL cluster in an early facelift car cuases the alarm to go off immediately after locking, due to this connection. PFL's didnt have it.

I would unplug the cluster and see if the issue continues. If it goes away, then i can find out what wire you need to cut to fix it.

For that to be the case, it sorta implies they did more than just swap the LCD though...
 
I removed the cluster and it worked...no flashing lights...if i cut a cable will it screw up the alarm or immobilizer in anyway?

He did say that when he took it apart someone had screwed up the insides and had used bulbs and not leds, so he replaced them back to leds and said it was all working. Thats as much as i know regarding what they did
 
nope, just stops the false triggering...

I think it the Green connector, pin 12, blue/purple wire.

This only applies if its a early facelift car with an analog clock...
 
Yer its the analogue clock, i took a photo for you to confirm before i go snipping cables

Just a random question to add, if i get a new alarm system as mine is well......up the creak. Is this going to cause them any issues
 
shouldnt do, no. You just need to fit a new siren, they're cheap enough on ebay and the newer type is much more reliable than the original one :)
 
I did consider that and then i vag-com the car and all the interior sensors are not working as well. Could that be a simple fix

you really need to clear all the codes and see what comes back.

Lots of intermittent codes which might be ancient!
 
Hi buddy, i cleared all the codes and rescanned here's the new list

you need to log into the interior monitoring module and clear its codes, theres still stuff there that should have gone, like the "alarm triggered by anti-theft sensor" codes....
