   Hello. I bought a 1996 1.4i saxo and I locked it with the fob at work and when I started working I got called outside because my alarm was going off. I'm going to sit outside later and lock it with the fob to see if it does it again. But any ideas what to look out for?

   Interior sensors(if fitted)also damp in the electrical connections can cause this.

   mine does it.
   
   I just lock with the key so the alarm doesn't get activated.

    press and hold, light on dash comes on, deactivates the internal sensors = no alarm going off (unless somebody is genuinely steeling it.)

    I've tried it and it works. And yes you do need to press it every time you are just about to get out the car. Thank you all for the help.

    I will end you.
    
    The interior sensors always reactivate after unlocking and relocking the car with the fob. So you need to press the button every time you want to lock the car with the interior sensors de-activated.
    
    Don't make me get my handbook out and prove you right.

    mine used to be every time I wanted to lock the car.
    
    Taping over both sensors was another trick back in the day. Whether it worked or not ...
