2G 2g Factory Alarm Going Off

[alice]

A few months ago, I turned my car off and a GREEN light popped up in my cluster that said SECURITY. Nothing happened after that. Tonight I got home, shut my car off, locked the doors then shut them, and about 30 minutes later, the alarm just started going off! I didn't even think my car had an alarm. The horn was beeping and the 4-ways were flashing. My Dad went out and jiggled the passenger side door handle and it turned off and it hasn't gone off since. Any body have any input? On a side note, my power door locks only work sometimes but I can hear a relay clicking when I try to lock the doors. I gather that the power door locks are tied into an alarm system somehow. I am currently looking for a wiring diagram that might detail a factory alarm system on a 2g.

What exactly is your problem?

It won't start ,I replaced the battery and it's just clicking 1 time all the illuminated lights dim all the way down until I let the key go and it lights up again and the car starts beeping again cuz the door is open.

Did you replace the sensors by the door jambs?

 

[diamond10star]

No, this can prevent the car from starting??

I dont think it will prevent starting. I bet someone had a custom alarm setup in that car and ruined something.

BUMPPPP haha, ok so yea mine is doing the same thing. My fuse for my alarm was removed, I was going to remove it myself before I noticed the previous owner already did, so I decided to add a fuse. Didn't work. So I owned the car for 5-6 months with no issue, now there is one. Everyone saying hit lock twice to arm inside with green light is BS, I hit it once or lock it with my key (no fab, lost along the owners) the green light goes on. That is no issue, I like that. Tells people "hey, I am armed". However I did see somewhere that there is a special alarm horn that is not the regular horn? It has gotten worse, goes off twice a day for no reason. A key fab won't fix my issue, there is no weird wind activating it; it is probably just old wiring. However, if I can just unplug the "stand alone alarm horn" if that exists, then there is my problem fixed! I just cannot leave it unlocked and with my apartment, work, and school; I do not want someone damaging my car due to being annoyed. I put some visible audio equipment in it so I HAVE to lock it.

To be honest with you man, all the locked car doors in the world aren't going to stop you from being robbed if a crack-head decides he wants your stuff, he'll just break the window.


However, behind the kickpanel on the drivers-side is the actual unit responsible for all the shenanigans. Cut the white and green wire, and it'll stop all alarm activity period. If one day you want to re-activate it after fixing the issues with it, just hook the wire back up.
