hi all, newbie here! my 98 disco 1 alarm goes off every now and again for no good reason i can tell, tonight after an alarm i noticed the cooling fan cutting on and off only seconds at a time(could not make it do it on my own) and the green trailer light on the dash was very dim but flashing with no beat(ignition off). any ideas?

 

I have no idea.

 

is it maybe a low battery??

Read through these and see if maybe your problem is listed.
I too was thinking maybe a bad battery.

 

Does your alarm have interior motion detection ? My 99 D2 has it and if you leave the windows or sunroof open even a crack, The wind will set it off. They can be extremely sensitive.

 

are the lights dim at all, or is it hard to start? check all of your connections for corrosion and such. always good to get the basic stuff out of the way in a diagnosis.

 

no issues with the battery, lights are bright and no trouble starting.but ill check it anyways.
no, i dont believe it has the motion detection, my 99 does and it will set off that alarm
the 2 links left discribe a starting or running problem which i dont have but good to know,
thanks

 

check the ground wire on alarm. it is prolly lose/corroded.

 

at first thought i am thinking low or bad battery
