Default Random alarm- door microswitch?
My son's 98 XJ8 alarm goes off randomly. From searching here, it seems it may be bad door microswitches. Has anyone found an alternate part number?

Thanks

Related question- can the car be locked without the alarm armed?

My neighbours will appreciate any input.

Default rando alarm
Have a look at this recent thread, he had alarm problems too.

These cars tend to break the wires which run along the boot hinge, and I think that was causing the problem in the above post
