As it says, my “gate ajar” light remains on, even though the gate is fully closed. This then sometimes causes the alarm to go off. Anyone know why this happens or how I can turn it off or disable it?

The switch on the gate that controls the “gate ajar” light is either defective or needs adjusting. Take a look yourself and see if you can locate it. If not, a qualified mechanic can help you out.
