I apologize if this has been covered before. I did a search but could not find anything.

My car alarm has been activating for no reason. It is when the vehicle is locked and no one is around it. I cannot find any other commonality other than that. It will happen maybe once or twice a week. As all things electrical on these I am guessing maybe my battery is beginning to go south. Has anyone else dealt with this problem?

Thanks,
Eric

 

More than likely it is your "bonnet" or hood sensor. It is failing and telling the car someone has opened the hood. See what message is on the dash.

I also had an issue with the ignition thinking the key is still in. The small spring loaded access piece in the ignition that blocks the key was getting hung up. Add some graphite lock lube.

 

X2 on the bonnet switch. You can either replace it for $40 or cut the 2 wires, splice them together, tape it off and be done forever for free.

 

Thanks for the input on the bonnet sensor. I didn't even consider that.

 

Does anyone know if there is a way to see what is causing the alarm to trip with a GAP IID tool? I'm also getting a few random alarms.
