Malfunctions in the alarm system of the Opel Meriva 2004: experience and solutions sought

Hey buddy, I had a similar case with my 2007 Opel Astra. My alarm system also went crazy and later it turned out that it was due to the defective battery contacts of the siren. I was also worried at first, but in the end it wasn't a big deal. Once the contacts were replaced, everything was fine again. The whole process itself was pretty straightforward, it only took a few hours and then everything was running like new again. So you can relax, it's a solvable problem. Good luck with your Meriva!

Hey, thanks for the reply! I'm glad to hear that it shouldn't be a big problem. Do you happen to remember what you paid for it? And did anything else related to it perhaps cause problems later on? I'm looking forward to hearing about your experiences, buddy!

Sure, I can tell you that, buddy! It cost me €235 to repair the battery contacts in the siren. That's not a lot of money, but everything was fine again afterwards, so it was worth it. And since I've been to the mechanic, there have been no more problems with the auxiliary battery of the anti-theft alarm system. Everything is running perfectly, so don't worry. Keep your fingers crossed that it goes just as smoothly for you!

Great, thanks for the info, buddy! 235 is quite a lot of money, but if everything runs smoothly afterwards, then it's definitely worth it. I'll let my garage know about the battery contacts and see if that's the case for me. Thanks again for your help, always good to have someone with similar experiences! See you next time!
