So I bought a 95 talon and the alarm goes off for no reason

So why does this happen? I heard someone say something about door switches going bad? When I open the doors the lights don't go on but I think they do when I close the door after it was running. Also I am not sure if this always happens but if I lock the car from the pasanger door I don't think the security goes on

you have a short somewhere in the wiring. go get a new alarm hooked up by some pro's and just have them rewire everything.

I had the same problem and it was the switch that turns your lights on when you open the doors. I just unscrewed mine and unhooked the switch, screwed it back in, problem fixed.

You..... you can't find the door switch?

It's the rubber button at the rear-bottom corner of the door frame.

Goooood luck.

I had the same problem on mine, It ended up being the hood pin in the engine bay. I just bent it up some to is make good contact with the hood when it was closed and I havent had the problem since.

Same here. My hood switch was out of wack. Just bend it upwards and see if it helps.

Actually that would be the NEWBIE ALARM - All 95 & Later AWD's came with that feature - Your car is FREAKING OUT whenever it sees you behind the wheel!

Yep, what they said. I had the same problem. I put a couple washer under where the hood pin mount is and bent it up a little. Problem solved.

hood pin? As in the thing that when you pop your hood you slide your fingers under and move it to open? Or what is it?

Ah, didn't think I would have to pop it out.

No, it's another rubber-shrouded pushbutton, on the [CAR'S] left-front of the engine room.
