Alarm won't turn off even with engine running

[paulbton]

Hi

I have a Jaguar x-type 2.5 v6 auto awd and just after fitting a new battery the alarm started going off for no reason it went off as I started the engine and now it sits in the drive nice and quite until I set the alarm it it will go off sometimes it will when you push the key fob then start again I tried the key in the lock and it didn't turn off started the engine and it still went off so to stop it I disconnected the battery and it turn off. So does anybody know what the problem is and how I can stop it as I'm just about to sell it and that will be hard with the alarm going off on the test drive.

thanks for any help

Can't help you but my 09 2.2D Estate is doing the same thing. Infuriating.

when I changed my battery on a 2004 2.0d ….. I closed the circuit by holding down the" alarm bonnet switch" with a piece of wood and a clamp. with the new battery fitted, so far with mine all is ok, something to try ?
