I had the same issue with my TF last year , in that it wouldn't recognise the EKA . I changed the door lock on the O/S door and it made no difference at all .Once I had sent the BCU to Paul at Technozen , the problem dissappeared as he had waved his wand over it .

the drivers door side microswitches do indeed allow the EKA code to be entered -but if the EKA code was corrupted in the SCU it wouldn't match so wouldn't work.
I honestly believe that the microswitches will still need to be fixed by either replacing the offending door lock or repairing the switches in cases where the alarm goes of at random , or just disconnect the small loom connector .

good god, that cat s bigger than our dog.
Hi. Yes that's what my TF does when I have left anything open . Well you need to test the switches that operate the the doors and the bonnet. The boot however is operated via a switch that is incorporated into the locking latch . When I looked at mine when I was fitting a remote boot popper I found quite a bit of corosion on the point where it actually earth's out when the latch closes . There could of course be a problem with boot wiring harness where the loom follows the hinge into the engine bay . That is well known area for problems. I have included a picture that shows the rear of the boot latch and in front of my finger is the earthing point for the latch .
I did also suggest that you may need to have the alarm sensetivity turned down but I think that can only be done by the MG/Rover T4 system.
Hope this helps you .

Does locking the car with the key stop the alarm triggering at night ? If it doesn't go off when locked with the key it could be the interior sensing is too keen .
