My alarm is playing up.

the boot lid light is on when im driving but have checked th boot many times & is fine.

The alarm went off at 5am on sunday morning!!! I cant lock the car using the alarm as it beeps 4 times when locking (telling me the boot is open).

Im guessing there is a break in the circuit which is causing it, Has any 1 had similar probs before?

My alarm is a Scorpion Cat 1 alarm, its the standard alarm for a Cupra R.

Any info appreciatted....

are u 100% positive the boot is closing fully

not to the point where u cant pull it back up i mean proper latched on, as this has happened before where the boot wasnt closing fully and so the locking mechanism required adjusting (its a simple pin and clip which just needs tightening)

the boot lock on these cars is a pain in the arse
thats what id check first
