No lights on the alarm noise started midway driving. No doors open, checked those, handbrake not on checked that also. Pulled over and switched off and back on and the alarm had gone.

dodgy connection on ignition switch?

could be a wiring problem - somewhere that has lost supply so thinks the ignition has gone off?

I've not heard of the beeper going off with the engine running? But I might just be going senile and losing my memory.:thumb2

good man, we have had that symptom before.

Mind you, all things are possible when you are given a second hand diagnosis by a lady driver LOL

Didn't think the handbrake caused an alarm?

This ABS thing, what do you mean by intermittently cutting in? Not of its own accord I assume? Do you just mean its operating when you brake, when you think it shouldn't?

is it from the front or back of the car? Mine had a beeper connected to the towbar wiring something to do with trailer indicators. it had a dodgy connection and would randomly beep while i was driving around.

took me ages to find it :doh but when I did find it, I amputated it

well as long as you are sure? If it does it in the dry then theres a problem, but its quite normal for it to cut in when its wet....you could just have hit a slippery bit at the last minute?

ABS with EBD has self-test capabilities. The ABS warning lamp is illuminated for 1 second each time the
ignition switch is turned “ON”. After the engine is started, the ABS warning lamp turns off. An ABS self-test
is performed the first time the vehicle reaches 6 km/h (4 MPH) to ensure the system is operational. A
mechanical noise may be heard as the ABS performs this self-test and is a normal part of the self-test
feature. If a malfunction is detected during this check, the ABS warning lamp will stay on.
During the self-test, it also performs a EBD check when it detects a failure the ABS warning light will go
on simultaneously with the brake warning light and an audible sound will sound constantly.
I EBD system will only operate when the ABS is not in active status and it uses the inlet valves of ABS control
unit to limit the pressure to the rear wheels when they tend to go into slip.
I When the vehicle speed is less than 10 km/h (6 MPH) the ABS system does not operate.
I While driving, a mechanical noise may be heard during ABS operation, this is a normal system condition.
