Alarm, when, how long, smashed side window thief

[field]

My passenger window was smashed and many items were stolen. Is the alarm supposed to sound for smashed side windows and how long should it stay on???

Otherwise my alarm goes off for me at strange times when I do some unexpected things occasionally and that's annoying.

Another junkyard replacement window was $20., far less then the items.

Glad one of your identical multiple posts is in this correct 1995-01 sub forum. Unless you have an aftermarket alarm,
there are no glass breakage sensors. IIRC, the factory alarm is only triggered by door, hatch, or hood pin switches.

My factory alarm was going off at random times, by itself. I replaced the battery under the hood, and that solved it for me.

My factor alarm goes off because I have too much on my keyring and something presses up against the remote button. It's surprising the range that has, will go through walls and floors sufficient to block the sound of the horn. I wish it took two rapid button presses instead of one.

As far as I know the alarm stays on forever... or at least until the battery drains, though I suppose it's possible that the battery saver circuit times it out after whatever period, 45 minutes?
