Hello there!
I have a 2009 Ford Fiesta and have recently had problems with the alarm going off all the time (have just moved into a new house too, so as you can imagine this is far from an ideal situation! ) 😕
After doing some digging online I intially thought it could be the bonnet latch, as it was quite loose. On opening the bonnet and slamming it back down again it seemed to keep the alarm at bay (for a short while).
Also, a couple of days ago the centre console was telling me the boot is open when it definitely wasn't. Have also noticed that the last couple of days the car has been locking itself when the boot has been open.
The boot seems to be collecting a bit of water when it rains so I'm wondering if this could be the issue? The alarm does seem to go off a lot more when it rains; have a feeling it isn't a coincidence?
I took it to my local garage today for a diagnostics and they said there is a couple of issues but they couldn't tell me exactly what they were 🙄. I have it booked into Ford next week for a diagnostics...costing a whopping £103. I'm gutted but it has to be done.
I'm terrified that this is going to end up costing an arm and a leg. Was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts as to what the problem could be (and the cost) , as I'm going to be spending the whole week worrying about it now!
Hoping someone can shed some light and thanks in advance.
