Mini Paceman alarm problem

Alright so the alarm system on my 2015 Mini Paceman diesel is playing up big time. I ran a diagnostic and got a 'siren communication fault' error, and now the alarm is totally dead. The error memory says the cable or plug connection is defective. Has anyone experienced this? Any tips before I book it in?

I had something similar happen with my Mini. The alarm system went haywire. Did you check the alarm controller? It might be a wiring issue there.

Thanks for the quick response! Where exactly is the alarm controller located? And how did you pinpoint the wiring issue?

My issue was similar. The alarm was out of nowhere triggering. While I didn't pinpoint the exact wire myself, the workshop identified a faulty connection linked to the alarm controller. Given your error code, I'd recommend getting it checked by a professional. It’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack otherwise.

Just wanted to give a heads-up that the issue is sorted. The fault detection pointed to a wiring issue, and after an alarm reset, everything seems to be working fine now. Cost me 95€. Thanks for your help!
