Alarm goes off (often in middle of night). Have taken van into Renault - they have checked the sensors but problem not solved. An engineer said this is a known problem with no cure at the moment.

Trouble is every time I have to take van to garage I can't work - not ideal. I would like to know if other people are having this problem as well and if there is any work around / solution??

I’ve got the same issue had the van since February! Sometimes 3 or 4 times a night. Garage keep telling me to double lock and hold the button until it beeps then stops (this disables proximity sensors in the front apparently) but it still goes off. Worse in the cold weather. Possibly expansion contraction of the metal in the back where the sensor is.

I had RAC out who ran tests and reported fault with Alarm Module. Is booked in with Renault to exchange Alarm Module under warranty. Been waiting for part to be available since end September and finally booked in for replacement next week (5th December). Alarm has kept on going off all this time.

Yeah spoke to Renault today who said it’s a known issue and need to order a replacement module. They will phone when it’s arrived and I can take it in. In the meantime I don’t know what to do. Every night I hold lock button till it beeps but last night it was still going off. Only solution was to leave it open which is not good.

Looks like you cant even pull the alarm fuse as other circuits are on same fuse

then hold down lock until you hear a buzz.
Not this is for my dogs as they move about; but will be still locked but no sensors.
Depends on model and year, but worh trying.

Above suggestion is USUALLY for switching off interior sensor but certainly worth a try . Sometimes the sensor can be triggered by wind entering via heater vents and setting the interior sensor off or dud sensor

I have the same problem, In fact it just happened 5 minutes ago. Seems worse when it’s frosty, currently -5 here. I’ve had a few rude awakenings recently, neighbours must love me.. can’t believe I’m having to do with with a £35k van…

I’m having exactly the same problem, 2023 Sport +. Doesn’t disturb me at night because I keep it at my work premises but the surrounding flat residents must be pretty pissed off with it by now. Definitely worse now the weather is colder. £35k, expect better.

You would think they had a solution to what seems a common fault by now . You just got to keep at them till it gets resolved

I had the same issue with my alarm going off on Renault trafic 2023
But managed to stop it by cleaning then spraying wd40 on the bonet sensor and the sliding side door.
Also there is an alarm sensor between the rear doors inside at the top which I cleaned and I unplug all usbs before I lock the van and that seems to have stopped the random alarm going off.
