Hi, i'm trying to disable the auto arming on my elldis majestic motorhome also, the manual talks about a hidden service mode switch but after 2 days of searching it does not exist. I do have the 5 numbered code. It would be great if you still had any programing details or any instructions which could help me. Its a Autowatch 695RLC on a peugeot boxer. Thanks Sean.Yes I have the AutoWatch alarm programing details and I'll PM it as and when to whoever needs it.

On our Elddis boxer, after locking the van you can disable the alarm with the auto watch fob and the doors stay locked.Hi, i'm trying to disable the auto arming on my elldis majestic motorhome also, the manual talks about a hidden service mode switch but after 2 days of searching it does not exist.

Just wondering if anyone has ever managed to find the service button.

Yes. That’s your bonnet switch.I also read about the bonnet sensor, but not sure I found it (unless it is the long threaded screw that had a sort of push down button on it?)
Thought so... I tried pressing the button down this afternoon and then setting the alarm with the fob but still got the extra chirps and no arming. Even spayed it with a bit of WD40!Yes. That’s your bonnet switch.
Make sure it’s pressed in, you can even do this by hand, and then try setting alarm.

Anything else I can try?
Thanks

I also have the same hab door contact as your picture Two on Tour, and I gave that a clean too.

Will try this with a motorhome servicer and let you know!Giving them a clean is not the problem with the hab door contacts, it the fact that the reed contacts fuse together not allowing the alarm to set as it thinks the hab door is still open.
Several of us have had this problem.
Hi Lee,I put 2 new batteries in the wireless PIR earlier today, but the alarm still wouldn't work.

I don't have a garage Andy, but lockers? Do you mean my gas locker, leisure battery and toilet cassette lockers? Would they have sensors?
Everyone here is so helpful! Thanks all

That's good to know. Got family in Barry so will go there. CheersHi Lee,
I have had problems with my Autowatch Alarm system. Alarm going off in the middle of the night etc. Changed all the batteries and cleaned contacts. For some unknown reason, now seems to be working.
For your information, Kits and Bits is located in Barry. They are very knowledgeable with Autowatch Alarms. Give Ricky a call.

I'll buy some spares as well from Autowatch - are they easy to fit yourself? Or do you need to be a file trained electrician

Bit late on to this thread guys but I have the auto watch on my majestic 125, Boxer base 2016. I think I have the bonnet switch issue so have disconnected it to see if I still get spurious alarms or the 3 double chirps when setting, all good for last 24 hours since I disconnected it though. My question is the Hab door door doesn’t have any visible reed switches or magnet in the door or the frame like the photos in the above post that I can see however but even if I slightly open the door the alarm chirps and will go off a few seconds later. I’m not opening the door enough to trigger the internal PIR so am wondering (before I take it apart) could they have fitted the switch inside the internal door handle assembly?First check that the gap between the contact and the magnet in the door edge is not too great by gently easing the magnet out a bit with a pair of long-nosed pliers as our gap was right on the limit when we first got our van and sometimes the alarm would set and other time it would not. The gap needs to be under 10mm.
Normally the route for the contact wires is behind the flyscreen frame and then down through the edge of the step area and out under the van.
The flyscreen just clips into the doorframe and can be easily be eased away with a plastic trim tool. In the bottom aluminum section of the flyscreen are two screws are removed that secure it to the the floor.
With the flyscreen removed, you should now see the two white wires from the contact. You should be able to gently pull the wires up through the floor to give you a bit of slack.
At this point you can test if your problem is the contact by cutting both of the wires, stripping back a little of the wire insulation on the wires going through the floor and twisting the bare wire ends together, and then try setting your alarm.
If the alarm sets okay then change the contact, but if the alarm is still not setting then, oh bugger, but you have at least proved that the fault lay elsewhere.
The contact is only a tight push fit into the doorframe with a little bit of sealant around the edge.
If the contact proves to be at fault then I find the easiest way to remove to contact is to drive a woodscrew deep into the face of the old contact and tug it out with a pair of pliers.
By the way, welcome to the madhouse. View attachment 600201

Thanks, I thought I would just disconnect it and monitor for a day or two as with it connected the alarm often won’t set or when it does it will go off randomly and usually at night when it’s up the drive on hookup much to the dismay of our neighbours. If it’s stable with it disconnected I’ll sort the switch bonnet switch out. You say hab door is on the canbus, so how does it know I’ve opened the hab door given it’s not on the central locking system and the are no apparent wired or wireless contacts that I can see?The connection to door sensors is via the canbus system. If you clean and lube the bonnet switch it should be ok.
Most the van is connected to the canbus network on modern vehicles including central locking. It all talks back to the ecu etc.Thanks, I thought I would just disconnect it and monitor for a day or two as with it connected the alarm often won’t set or when it does it will go off randomly and usually at night when it’s up the drive on hookup much to the dismay of our neighbours.
