Is that when locked or when engine running?
Do you have the manual? There is a way to set them back to default. Have you made sure the sensors are pointing in to the car/ unobstructed?
you may need an alarm fitter to check what has gone wrong/ come loose

not sure about the newer ones, but when I've had cliffords, pre-G4, they don't have pointy sensors like other alarms. My guess would be they've disturbed (or trapped) a wire somewhere.

Hi mate...

As a Clifford dealer I can tell you that the internal batteries in the battery back up siren are probably flat ? The G4 sirens are a common problem for this.
They are still available 'just' I think. As Directed Electronics (the company behind the Clifford brand) have moved onto G5 technology, G4 odds and sods are becoming a little scarce.

Ha ha ha, 'pointy sensors' Nice one !, Your right, Clifford systems don't generally use 'Ultrasonic interior sensors' Proximity sensors are favoured to enable exterior warn away feature and internal full trigger.

We / Autosparx (and any other Clifford dealer) can plug into your system and re-set to default if you like, then carry out full test etc.

I dont know what area your in ? If your In Kent maybe you could pop in one day ? Give us a call Mon-Fri 9am - 5pm if you need to. 01634 724472
