Lightning strike makes Trans Am beep
So I live in North Carolina and we had some bad thunder storms this morning and unfortunately my 98 trans am lives outside because the 67 and 78 firebirds are in the garage. Anyways when there is a real close ligtning strike to the house (not right next to it but) it makes the trans am do two beeps like when locking the doors or the alarm going off. I've noticed this happen three times, once this morning and twice from another storm. It seems to happen right after the lightning strike and not from the thunder. Don't believe the sensor in the back has ever been adjusted and even if it has I would think the crack of thunder would make it beep and not just the lightning strike. Maybe sometype of electromagnetic waves (have no idea if thats possible). Not looking for a fix just thought it was weird and wondered if anyone else had experienced it???

Its your sensitivity sensor on your factory alarm system. Its probably just set too high and is beeping at every vibration. I believe the **** for the sensitivity adjuster is in the spare tire compartment. I know its in the rear of the car under a panel but dont remember where.
EDIT> I found it. Go here and Ctrl+F and search for "Shock Sensor". It will show you the rest http://www.lastofthebreed.com/Servic...99firebird.pdf
