Bit of an odd one, but just put my Megane 300 on a trickle charger and the hazard lights switched on. I now can't turn them off. Any idea what might fix it? Cheers.

Are you sure the alarm has triggered?

I'm not sure to be honest. Possibly. Is there a way to reset it?

Try cycling the locking and unlocking using the remote (assuming it has one) or the key.

Thanks, but tried that a few times and no joy.

I'm sure this was a symptom of a knackered battery on our demo Trophy.

Might well be. It's gone flat a few times. Just spoke to Renault in Tunbridge Wells and they've said bring the car in and leave it with them for a day.

The batteries have been problematic on the Trophy.

You're not joking. hehe

Terrible choice for the car.

Fixed. RAC turned up and disconnected then reconnected the battery. Problem solved. First time he'd seen it happen on a Megane.

The alarm went off on my 280 a couple of weeks back, kept going off constantly, unlocking didn't sort it, neither did starting the car!

I disconnected the battery for 30 seconds, reconnected it and it chirped then disarmed.

I think it was a case of the battery being low as I hadn't taken it out for a week and also got the lurgi for a week. I stuck it on my CTEK charger for a few hours and it's been fine since (along with light usage).
