the alarm ECU changed in 1996. There is a definitive thread somewhere (either on this forum or at Discoweb) on how to bypass the alarm ECU on a 97 disco. Make sure your ECU is securely mounted. The vibration from the bumps are telling the ECU that you have been in an accident and to unlock the doors and turn on the hazards.

Not hijacking the thread, but you mention a cruise control ECU. Could this ECU be the reason my cruise control works for about 15 minutes and quits?? Once it quits, I need to restart the DI & it works again (well some times it does).

Another guy here used a HawkEye to disable and remove his. You might be referring to the immobilization removal thread I created a while ago.
