Seat Formentor Diesel Alarm System Issue

I'm experiencing an issue with my 2021 Seat Formentor diesel. The alarm system is not functioning, and the error memory shows a siren communication fault. The vehicle has 130145 km. I suspect a defective cable or plug connection. The alarm disarm doesn't work either. Estimated repair cost is 95€. Any ideas?

I had a similar issue with my Formentor's alarm system. Check the wiring harness and connectors near the siren. Corrosion or loose connections are common culprits. Fault detection can be a pain. Has the alarm system functionality returned since you cleared the error?

Thanks for the quick reply. Where exactly is the siren located? And did the error message specify anything more than just 'siren communication fault'?

Yes, the error message was very generic, just a communication fault. The siren itself is usually located within the wheel arch area, or under the hood near the windshield. However, I recommend you have the workshop check it properly to perform the alarm reset after the fixing the connection to ensure proper vehicle security.

The workshop found a faulty plug connection as suspected. They repaired it, and the siren communication fault is resolved. The final bill was around 95€. Thanks for your help!
