ok to cut to the chase:

 

a) installed A-pillar pod with gauges (not hooked up to senders yet but backlights work ok :cool: )

b) on two occasions now over the past couple of months when its been raining hard overnight, my alarm has triggered on several occasions for no apparent reason. normally i have no problem with it at all.

c) ive got a leaky roof

d) the morning after one of these incidents i turned a sharp corner and got a splash of rainwater from below my top gauge in the pod.

 

simple question - is rainwater getting down the inside of the A pillar and finding its way into the wiring and triggering the alarm?

the connections are wrapped in electrical tape but even so could this happen?

Yeah !! Water finds it way in anywhere.

Heat Shrink wrap connectors are the best, if you cant find any, let me know and I will send you some down.

Where is the water coming in from ?? Rubber seal meets the frame probably.

I always lift me roofs off at this time of year and smear the rubbers with Vaseline. Leave till the spring and clean off.

Just thought I'd say thanks to Paul (Securicar) for pm'ing me with some good advice and suggestions. Thanks Paul.

I had a similiar problem amd it was watter dripping through the leaking targa and triggering the ultrasonic sensor, when it rained I just disabled them (as you would if you left the dog in your car)
