akarm problem

[MikeM8560]

on my 97 gti It new to me and I rode it on the 4th of july and the alarm wasn't sounding on it like the gtx when starting . I though I had to replace the beeper. well today I was going to take it for a spin and it began working a steady alarm I can put the lanyard on and once it starts I get a steady tone even once the oil light goes off. the oil if near full and gas is a half tank, what could be the problem?

just looked at it again when I put the cap on it gave a steady beep started motor the oil light went out motor shut off and the beep stoped. then take the cap of and put it back on and I was getting a half ass tried to sound beep its didn't beep it was a steady tone when it did sound but if I rotated the kill cap it seems to be affecting it tying to beep

Check and see if the wire to the temp. sensor has come loose and is connecting to ground.

I think I found my problem
even though I saw after it wasn't for my sji I tried it and it worked
it was one ling beep so I cleaned the inside of the cap and the post connections seems ok again. to late for a ride now as the thunderstorms are rolling in. have to wait till tomorrow

lou , I went back and looked at it , I tried grounding the heat sensor and got nothing so ended up digging into the beeper thinking it may be bad.
well I opened it up and it was stuck and it began a constant beeeep when I dess cap was in place. to I unplugged the temp sensor and the constant beep stopped but I am biw getting the beep beep when the dess cap is installed. so im going to replace the heat temp sendor thanks for making me look at it , the beeper may need replacing also

Lou with a good temp sensor removing the plug would silence or trigger the alarm? I took the wire s off and it silenced it. Thinking bad sender unit

Oh and this with a cold motor sitting on the bunks in my sigpic .

Sounds like you need a temp sensor.
