volkswagen beetle car alarm continously going off

Asked by Chickentender Jun 21, 2020 at 08:35 AM about the 2002 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo S

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Just recently bought privately a 2002 volkswagen beetle.

When test driving the car and talking with previous owner
for about an hour. The car alarm never went off. Maybe
because the doors were unlocked.

However, I brought the car home, parked and locked it. The
alarm goes off like every 20-30 mins.

I've taken the battery out of the keys.

Nothing.

I had to disconnect the battery from the car, because I
didn't want neighbors to complain. How do I fix or
completely disconnect the alarm system.

Try to open the Trunk with the Key, not the key fob or button inside the car. I drove around for 2 weeks with the lights blinking and the horn blowing before I ran across a random post about the trunk. It only lasted 30 seconds, but thats a very long 30 sec. I think there is a secondary horn, pointing into the car, plus the regular horn blowing at the same time. Maybe to startle the thief out of the car. Haha Hope this works for you. Positive Vibes coming your way.
