Dodgy Alarm

Hey everyone,

Wife has a 98 VW Polo 1.4 and a few weeks ago the alarm was causing problems.

When pressing the button on the key pad to switch on the alarm, the indicators would flash however the doors would not lock. The only way to lock the doors was the old fashioned way by using the key in the handle. Once the doors were locked, the button on the keypad would unlock the doors.

A mate suggested I use the spare key pad and it didnt make much of a difference.

Then all of a sudden the problem went away. The alarm would work etc.

However this morning, wife takes the polo to work and i get a phone call saying its happened again.

Know a decent garage so most probably going to take it there but before I do is there any suggestions on what might be the problem?

thanks
