Stock Car Alarm

[tenikiwon]

I'm currently at work and getting plauged with people telling me my alarm is going off. I've been out there three times and it's been silent. I was parked in a snow bank (gotta test out the ability of the 33s and BL!)

I now moved it to a level surface and manually locked my doors so the "THEFT" light didn't come on.

Can anyone explain to me how the alarm system is hooked up so that I can figure out why it's going off.

did you disconect your battery recently? It may need to be tighted up... Thats all i have.

 

[tenikiwon]

Yes, but that was over a week ago and I would think I would have heard it since then. Tightened 'em up good.

The stock alarm system will record what set off the alarm (door switch, hood switch, panic button, etc.) You just need to get this info out of the right module.

Yeah, scan the computer. Should point you to the problem.

How do you scan the computer? Regular OBD-II?


I've confirmed this now. Yesturday when I was at Fleet Farm I cam out to it going off, and when I got home last night, just as I was crawling in bed it went off again.


My drivers side door sensor may be going bad. When you open the door with the keys in there is a delay before the chime starts and then it ittermittantly goes on and off.

Where is the door sensor?

BTT

Any one know how to either disable the stock alarm, how to trouble shoot this problem, or anything

Thanks

Its one of your sensors. My lil' sister got in a fender bender w/ her 98' XLT. When she got it back, her alarm went off all the time. For her it was the hood pin.

An OBD II scan will not find an alarm problem.

 

[tenikiwon]

I didn't think it was stored in OBD-II.

Hood pin, hrmm... i'll have to take a look.

Thanks

The Diagtek www.diagtek.com scan tool I've got pulls the stock alarm info. This tool has saved me a trip to the dealer more than once!

Yea, I had the same problem last summer, hit the bumper hard, alarm has been pissing peolpe at work for a week before I bent the hood pin up a little, stopped right then.

 

[tenikiwon]

I'm confused. What do you mean by hood pin andy how did you bend it?

This is what he is talking about.
Oh, by the way how is the deflector working out?

Hey, who's the babe????

The stock alarm detects alot of the systems...for instance; it detects:

horn, brake pedal switch, power door locks- both driver's side and passenger's side, back up lights (reverse), the hood by the hood pin switch, and the memory switch- for memory seats located by the power mirror switch...

That's the better half!!

Looks like that's done it! The hood pin that is.

No one's complained about it yet.

Thanks again.
