Can you trigger it by leaving a window open and unlocking the car from inside after locking but not deadlocking?
No there is no alarm, I thought it just never had one.

Alarm and bright sensor use the same fuse.

F7 in the BSI

I sent the sensor back for a refund, but I’ll check the fuse box because I’m curious about the alarm. Thanks mate

If you have an alarm there is a button in the center of the dash board, on the left of the radio that says ')))off' (sorry that's a bit crude). There are little 'ears' or blisters on the the 'A' pillar (inside the cabin).

You could check that fuse anyway.

The plug for the sensor is the same plug for wiring going to the COM2000.

I'm not sure if the sensor is an ECU or not. Do the auto wipers work?

Whixh one is the a pillar? And they don’t work automatically they’re just always on if I set them on auto like the lights are.

A pillar

The one that is forward of the driver and holds the windscreen.
