... like clockwork. Its one of those Viper alarms that uses the OEM remotes and installs on top of the OEM system. To my knowledge, these alarms don't have a timer, so whats up with that? I can time it with a stop watch. Set my alarm, wait 30 minutes, and WHAM! It goes off.

Ideas?

 

I would suggest maybe PM'ing member big-al, since he's an expert at alarms, alarm installs, etc. Hopefully he can offer some insight into this...

 

What I would do is remove each trigger individually until you find out what is triggering the alarm. Basic triggers include:

Door pin
hood pin
rear hatch pin
shock sensor
various other sensors

If you hooked the alarms trigger up to the dome light I would bet that that is your problem, but that is just a hunch.

 

I took it to the place they installed it, and when I told them it was going off every 30 minutes like clockwork, he seemed to recognize what it was. He said some cars do a check every 30 minutes, electronic I guess, which triggers the alarm (false trigger) fooling one of the sensors. He said to bring it in and leave it for a couple of hours. They would set the alarm, let it go off, check which sensor was triggered, and rewire something.
