Sleep mode alarm

Does the passenger side have a physical lock? I don't remember, would be easy to test if so.

Nope - hence at least some crawling under a seat, or similar, is needed to test

- I'm sure I have various wiring diagrams somewhere, but have yet to try and see how clear it is re. signals from respective doors, etc and simply re-jigging a couple of connectors

On my 98, if I open the door after more than 5 or so days I just get straight in it and start it up and the alarm stays silent. I always keep it on a CTEK 5 battery conditioner too. Recently, during the very cold weather, keen to take it out for a Sunday breakfast meet, I somehow managed to break the drivers door lock mechanism that resulted in an expensive factory order replacement :(

just as an aside, have you ever heard your alarm go off? i.e. could be the siren is kaput (they actually "howl" for a while when they start to fail - thought I was hearing somekind of leak from the aircon system at first on mine..!) - or may/may not lend credence to a wiring recall or similar..... not sure if the battery conditioner would prevent the car from entering 'sleep' mode(?)

Anyone whoever set their 996 alarm off in a closed garage will recall exactly what it sounded like... as this is the last thing they clearly heard before their hearing was destroyed
:eek:
 
Ha ha, that is a shame that the passenger side doesnt have a physical door lock as that would have been an easy solution.

I am more than familiar with the alarm sound in a closed garage.... but unfortunately there doesnt seem to be a way around it.... other than open the garage door I guess.

By the way I also put mine on a CTEK if left for any period of time but this doesnt have any impact on sleep mode or not and so the alarm will still sound if I unlock after 5 days.
