Ummm… that little connector… so can I just disconnect the microwave sensor with that?
Not all cars have the microwave sensor.
When my boot loom failed it was just where the wires come out of the main loom
The wiring of the boot lock switch is opposite in function to the rest of the alarm system. There is a feed to the switch and a return back to the alarm, when this circuit is completed by the boot being unlocked and thus the alarm knows not to trigger when the boot is opened. Strangely one of the wires in this circuit is the same colour as for one of the rear lights so caused me great confusion when I was altering and re-routing my rear lights.
It is true that not all cars have microwave sensor. However it is easy to check if you have it or not. Leave door window in down position, close the car with fob and let few moments to pas. After that wave by your hand several times. If alarm goes off, then you have sensor, if not, then most probably you do not have it.
Sorry I am a bit late to the party but...….

When my boot loom failed it was just where the wires come out of the main loom, a real pain to get to when soldering or crimping, I ended up stripping the boot wiring out of the main loom all the way back in to the rear shelf and re-routed it.
I have also been working on a curly sprung patch repair, if it works I will be offering them for sale.

However, I cannot remember if you had one time more after you corrected spring, when alarm went off during a day? In that case above is questionable.
Come on Hogweed, have faith in what you have done . As you have admitted to not being mechanically minded , I think you've done really well so far . As for Pektron, you've probably sorted that area unless you get damp or water leaks getting into the car that will affect it .
