car alarm help


Question Posted Friday August 31 2007, 2:00 pm

My car alarm started randomly going off in the middle of the night yesterday and has done it twice since. I don't have the keychain control and have to shut the alarm off using the actual key in the door. I think car alarms are kind of dumb anyway and wouldn't mind if it were disabled completely. Is there a way to disable it myself without having to bring it to a mechanic? I don't have a lot of money. :(

It's a 95 Chrysler Concorde. Recently, in the last month or so, the inside lights have been coming on and going off randomly. The dashboard alert says that it's due to a door being open. (There isn't a door open). It didn't bother me that much so I just let it go hoping it would fix itself and not caring too much if it did. Now the alarm has started going off and the obvious conclusion, at least to me, is that the two things are related. The car is locked and it randomly senses that a door is open (aka someone trying to break in), which triggers the alarm. Makes sense to me, but I'm not really a car person.

I'm looking for either someone that knows what they're talking about and can tell me exactly what to do, or even just a creative idea that might work. If I don't get anything useful soon, I'm going to bring it someplace to get it looked at so don't worry about telling me to do that. I do have the Haynes Repair Manual so just in case someone knows what's going on and can't really put it in layman's terms for me, I can always refer to that. Thanks. :)

maybe the aralm thing is someone doing it. Does your car have locks that you have to undo, or like the button thing in the car that you press and all the doors unlock. If so, maybe someone was doing it with their keychain. Its possible. Im sure there is some kind of wire that you can just undo and the alarm will be off. Im not that good with cars, but I know some things. Try asking a guy friend, or your dad and see if they know if they know where that wire is.

I hope I helped<33
