Re: alarm keeps goin off!

Mine did it, so i cut the wires at the little sound thing, cuz i had no idea who installed it or where the hell all the wires were for it (it was a rather crappy alarm anyways). I got lucky because the car actually still starts and runs no issues (AKA i would not advise doing this), might want to take it somewhere that knows what there doing and have it checked out.

Re: alarm keeps goin off!

On the stock alarm system if it goes off by itself right after arming usually it's a sign the shock sensor above the spare tire is going bad. You can try turning the sensitivity down, or just unplug it and see if it stops - if it does that's most likely the problem.

I had to do the same thing last year, never messed with it, never got it wet or anything - still had the factory seal over the ****. Still goes off if the car is disturbed but takes more now, one of these days I'll get a new sensor.
