Thanks for the suggestion! Where exactly is the alarm control module located? And what fuse number should I be looking for?

Dude, honestly, chasing electrical gremlins can be a real pain. If you're not super confident with electrics, I'd say bite the bullet and take it to a workshop. Could save you a lot of time and frustration!

Okay, thanks for the advice. I took it to a local shop. Turns out the alarm system was indeed coded to activate optical locking (indicators). The repair cost me 45€. Everything is working as expected now.

Whoa, sounds like a headache! Have you checked the power supply to the alarm control module? Maybe a fuse or a loose connection?
