OEM Alarm going crazy!
Yesterday, after making a 200 mile trip, I closed the Z and put it inside the garage.
This morning I realized the windows were open and the door locks aswell. I stood inside the garage for around 5 minutes and every 2-3 minutes the car unlocked itself! The turning lights came on and the locks opened everytime!
Any suggestion?

Is there any possiblity you accidently pushed and held the UNLOCK button down while the fob was in your pocket? That could explain the windows being down.
The doors unlocking every 3-5 minutes is hard to explain though!

If this happens... " I stood inside the garage for around 5 minutes and every 2-3 minutes the car unlocked itself!"
... and the FOB is in range, it's a short in the FOB... probably caused by moisture.

So I replaced both batteries and realized one of the keyfobs had some kind of moisture/dust inside. I cleaned it and my Z is no longer going crazy!

It got wet!
Same sort of thing happened to me last week, only mine was @ 4:30 am and it was the horn beeping every 2 seconds! After waking up, I realized it had to be from the fob. I took out the battery and the problem was resolved. After leaving the fob open for 24 hours, I put it back together and it worked. (Ifound out later my girlfriend washed it earlier that day)
