Question Car alarm problem

I need some help with my car alarm everytime I lock the doors with the keyless remote my alarm will go off about 5 minutes after locking the door and it does the same thing when i hit the lock button on the door. So everytime i want to lock my doors i have to do it manually from both sides which is a BIG PITA! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I dont think this will help your situation, and i havent ever had that problem so i cant exactly say, but there is a sensitivity adjuster on the alarm system, i think its by the back window/spare tire. However, yours sounds more like an electrical issue or something. Hope ya get it figured out sorry i couldnt help ya more

I would look into your shock sensor-the circuit board inside of them can get corroded with moisture and can exhibit the symptoms that you're describing. I had the same problem on my T/A. Clean it up as best as you can, test it, and then try and seal it. Let us know what happens...
