Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

I Just clipped the wire and problem solved!

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am having an alarm issue and I hope you can help. Last week my alarm went off for no apparent reason. All was good until today and this morning after parking and locking the door with my key (remote has never worked with the car since i got it) the alarm went off shortly after. Unlocked and locked the door again and all was fine. Tonight again after parking in the garage the alarm went off by the time I was 50 feet from the car. Any ideas of what the issue is?

POST 2Original post

Good luck. I disconnected the alarm from the horn. No more problems.

POST 4Original post

I've had this problem twice. The First time it was dampness (rain) under the driver 's seat (alarm control thingie). The last time it was the wire for the radio anti-theft had grounded out onto the radio chassis. I Just clipped the wire and problem solved! Who would steal this pos radio anyway?

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the reply. I am guessing either the radio ground because I had an aftermarket put in a month ago or I also read in one of the other posts I found about the center console not being closed all the way and of course, I was playing with it the other day.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
