Default My car alarm keeps going off for some reason. Can I disable the alarm for now?

Just so my neighbors won't want to kill me and so I can keep the doors locked.

Its happened to me 3 times today. For no reason it will just start to beep. Could it be a switch somewhere thats just messed up?

Default Should be a butt on the lower portion of the B pillar on the Dside.

Are your windows open?

Default yeah, I already tried that, it didn't work

At first thats what I thought it was, so I pushed the button and 5 min later it was going off again. Then I rolled up the windows and again 5 min later it was going off. Now it just did it again

Maybe tomorrow I'll just try bypassing the hood switch, I hope its just that

isn't that just to disable interior motion sensors?

Default Check the wire that to the hood latch mechanism.

The wire usually runs along the inner radiator support. My wire came off the guide and the fan ate it. I grabbed some speaker cable spliced it in and zipped tied it on. Problem gone.

im having the exact same problem. turned off the interior sensor and it's still going off. my windows are down just a hair (it's crazy hot right now).

did you figure out what was causing your alarm to go off?

I have the same problem if the windows are not completely up and the roof shut 100%
