Have a look here: http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/topic20468....ood+switch 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I had this problem recently, sprayed the alarm switch all over with WD40, and that sorted it!

My switch failed, so was shorted out with a split pin. Then my split pin started playing up, so the connector was cut off, and the wires soldered together Thumbs Up

I had the same problem. Cleaning the gunk from the switch helped for a wee while but problem eventually returned. I disconnected switch and did similar bypass as described by Disco_Mikey with a small piece of wire until I bought a new switch. £10 or £12 I think it was. The switch itself is really easy to replace in a few minutes. 2016 L494 SDV6 HSE Dynamic Carpathian Grey
