Interior light only comes on once ignition key inserted
- When setting the alarm, the alarm thinks a door is open (obviously none are and the door switches work fine)
- When unsetting the alarm, the interioir light does not turn on nor does the on board computer come on until:
- Inserting the key into the ignition and the interior light comes on and the on board computer turns on too
Now this seems to be some sort of ignition barrel/switch problem (as if you insert a flat piece of plastic into the ignition everything also works as it should, so seems to be some sort of connection problem).
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

- sounds like whoever fitted the alarm did a poor job of it, the interior light & dash get a permanent 12v direct from the fusebox and shouldn't have been cut into by the alarm at all

Had the car for 8 years (the alarm was already installed when I bought it) and it has been fine until about 2 weeks ago when the battery went flat…..I'm wondering if I've managed to reset something on the alarm via the keyfob or if something was reset when the battery went flat.

Hopefully once the dodgy alarm (install) is removed they can reverse the bodges and will solve all the electrical issues mentioned in this thread.
