Alarm after locking car So check it out
Vehicle: 1998 Z28 Camaro
The alarm beeps twice about 5 seconds after I lock the car with the key fob. I swapped out the old battery with a new one from my other car to see if that was the problem because the old battery is quite old. No fix. The battery in the key fob was replaced sometime last year so I haven't tried that yet. I just wanted to know if anyone else has had any issues with this before and knows how to fix it.
Also no other problems occur. It's just annoying when I lock the car and to hear the alarm go off.

Unplug the shock sensor and see if it still does it ......if it doesn't you probably have condensation build up in its housing,causing it too short and set the alarm off. It's a common problem and what was causing mine to go off.

Yep .....you had condensation in there .....I'd try cleaning it up with contact/electronics cleaner or WD40 and something with a pointy tip to dig out corrosion between contacts.
That's what I did to mine and left a film of WD40 in there to prevent anymore corrosion and now works like a hot dam.
