Captiva Anti-Theft Alarm Malfunction

Hi, I've got a 2011 Chevrolet Captiva with a gasoline engine and I'm experiencing an anti-theft alarm system malfunction. The mileage is at 127639 km. The error memory has stored an error, and the alarm system is currently non-functional. I suspect the alarm system is coded to activate optical locking (indicators). Has anyone encountered something similar?

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

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.
