Seat Formentor Security Alarm Problems

Key fob battery? Interesting thought. Would that really cause the main security alarm to go haywire, storing errors and disabling the whole anti-theft system?

Yeah, it's a common thing with these. I've heard of the alarm system getting confused when it's coded to activate the indicators upon locking, but that function isn't working correctly. Causes all sorts of problems. Probably best to take it to a workshop, they can recode the alarm control.

You were spot on! Turns out the alarm was coded for optical locking which wasn't working right. A quick recoding at the shop and 45€ later, it's all sorted. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Security alarm acting up huh? Sounds like a headache. Did you check the battery in the key fob? Sometimes a weak battery can cause weird issues with the immobilizer.
