Here is the situation, I have an 03 performance model, light mods, nothing crazy, no electronic mods at all, inside or out. Now the last week my factory alarm has been randomly going off during the night and once during the day. I know what your thinking, somebody is tryin to break into it. I video-taped my car after the 2nd time it did this and it did it a 3rd time, with nobody at all around it, and street lights on it. Anybody ever have this problem? Where do i start to trouble shoot?? car has 55k on it and warranty is done,,, somebody help me out.
thanks

 

anybody??

 

The only way the OEM alarm will go off is if either the door, the hatch, or the hood is opened.

If the alarm is going off randomly, I would check the switches at each entry point. I would bet that your OEM hood pin switch is starting to fail.

 

someone with your other key fob is messing with you :P

 

Rusty/rusted hood pin switch?

 

thank you gentlemen, I was thinking the rusty hood pin switch myself. I only have 1 other key fob and its in a safe. Also is there anyway to put my stock alarm on Valet?? let me know. Thanks guys

 

I know where the hood pin-switch is located, but arent the others basically in the door sills? I cant figure it out let me know how to check that..

 

They are in the B-pillar. When you open your door you should see a little black plunger on the B-pillar.

 

oh, and no valet mode that I know of.

 

thank you very much,, currently unplugged the hood pin switch and testing it out to see if the alarms goes off for a few days!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks again

 

I had this problem one day.. but the remote was in my pocket when I was doin stuff around the house..

 

well the hood pin sensor is what is bad,, its been unplugged for almost a week or so, and no alarm issues,, does anybody have one of these?? let me know thanks
