      This is an OEM alarm which has been working normal for a year, when it started ARMING itself with the doors closed and key out of ignition. We are close to the car when this occurs. I have not changed any settings. What could be causing this? :ohmy:

          Thanks I’ll check into it. The alarm now arms itself then activates the horn. I checked the key batt: cleaned the connections and dust. Better button action now, but still acting-up.

              I got the operating instructions booklet and, using the key, went from Manual to Automatic mode, then back. At one point, I managed to disable the Control Unit with the key method, then re enabled it. So far no problems!!!

                  I guess the wife slide the KEYS in and out too many times, at some point…or just like our home computers, you need to restart. So far so good.[quote=”college man” post=61575]Keep us posted on your progress. ;)[/quote]

                      🙁 Oh well it’s back! I disconnected the harness from the Security System Control Unit that I installed and, with the key transmitter, locked/unlocked the car when it auto-locked again in 29 seconds without the harness, lamp indicator, and control unit affecting it. The car’s wiring shows a Keyless Receiving Unit that talks to Passenger Muiltiplex Unit that sends the commands to everything. I’ll start looking there.

                            I isolated the problem between the wiring and Key-less Receiver Unit. A short in the wiring is possible, but this auto arming issue occurs only when I arm/disarm the security system, with the key transmitter, and all doors closed; however, when I arm/disarm the system then open/close a door, it does not act up. I am focusing on the Key-less Receiver because I sense this trouble is following computer logic rather than a random short. Remember I cleaned the key’s transmitter and checked the battery. What do you think?

                              adjusted. The alarm will lock the doors.Have you replace any door

                                I appreciate your help College Man! My model doesn’t have the hood sensor. No I haven’t changed any locks or actuators.

                                  For some reason, it isn’t acting funny anymore. :blink:
