Default If it's still a problem just lock the doors manally for the night so the alarm is off.

Was it raining just before this happened? I was having some really fun problems related to the CCM (alarm). It turned out that some water had gotten into the alarm compartment and rusted the connectors that was causing a short between two pins.

It snowed a whole lot while I was out of town and before I got back all of the snow melted, and my car was parked outside the whole time.

It's been silent for the past two hours, and I'm wondering if I can wake up tomorrow and pretend this never happened I suspect not.

Default I have the same problem. I went through the Northeast snow/ice storm (more)

So the shorting due to wetness may be the problem.

Where is the alarm compartment where the rusting cook place?
