Corsa Anti-Theft Alarm Malfunction

Hi, I'm having a strange issue with my 2012 Vauxhall Corsa (gasoline engine). It's got about 52375 km on the clock. The anti-theft alarm system seems to be malfunctioning. Basically, there's an error stored in the error memory, and the alarm itself isn't working at all. I haven't had any power failures or anything like that, so I'm not sure what's causing it. I've checked the usual suspects like fuses, but no luck. Any ideas?

A 2012 Vauxhall Corsa experienced a malfunctioning anti-theft alarm system, with an error stored in the memory and the alarm not functioning. Despite checking common issues like fuses, the problem persisted. It was suggested that the issue might be related to the alarm system incorrectly trying to activate the car's indicators. Upon taking the car to a workshop, it was confirmed that the alarm system was misconfigured, and recoding resolved the issue.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

I had a similar problem with my old Renault Megane. Different brand, I know, but the symptoms sound awfully familiar. Does the alarm system try to activate the optical locking (indicators)? That was the error in my case.

Interesting. How can I check that? What do you mean by 'activate the optical locking'?

By optical locking I mean the turning lights. Does the car try to indicate a lock when the alarm should be active? I'd advise getting it checked at a workshop; it could be a similar coding issue.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to a workshop, and it turned out you were right! The alarm system was indeed coded incorrectly and was trying to activate the indicators when it shouldn't have. They recoded it, and it's working perfectly now. Cost me 45€, which isn't too bad. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!
