Alarm - keeps triggering in garage

Post by E14STO » Sun Apr 09, 2017 8:44 pm

Hi, for the past 2 nights the alarms has triggered in the garage.
Tonight unlocking and locking hasn't done anything so just took it a quick run and brought it back.

Reason I did this is that I am thinking that the short 10m run into the garage for the night is leaving it "unsettled".

God knows - anyone had similar?

Doesn't the red light flash a certain number of times to tell you what triggered the alarm? This wìll help narrow it down.
