Alarm Problem

[Fil]

Recent problems with alarm going off. Display shows that the right hand rear door has initiated the alarm, although then able to relock car and display does not show door open.

Dealer checked out and could find no fault, including I am told checking door switch.

Four hours after picking up car, alarmed again. Right hand rear door again. However this time the display showed rear door was open, and could not lock the car. Progress, at least permanent fault which should be easier to trace.

Car left unlocked in garage overnight, rear door not opened / closed. By morning, although car had not been touched fault had cleared and able to lock \ unlock car. Very annoying.

Anybody have alarm problems \ advice

I have rebooked into dealer for further checks.

Hmmm not sure about your fault in particular but thought I'd mention my friends recent fault with vehicle security. He has an xf too and his decided to not only unlock itself overnight, but also opened all the windows so was totally insecure and due to the rain the seats were soaked. I myself haven't had any problems with my XFR yet but am beginning to anticipate that electrical glitches are going to be these modern jaguars main faults too. Seems to ring a few bells from the jags of old huh?!

I've had some odd situations when the boot has refused to shut/lock. Just beeps and opens up again. In both cases I had been in the car and started it up and then stepped out of the car while leaving it running to open and shut the boot. I have a feeling that it was something to do with the car losing contact with the key sensor and some quirky security override kicking in. Solution has been to get back in the car, turn it off and then close the boot.
