alarm won't stop going off after last night's rain
so I have a slight problem now, after a crazy rain storm we had last night, any time I lock my car within a couple of minutes my alarm starts going off... has anybody ever had this happen to them before? I don't really feel like leaving my car unlocked all the time now

If you opened your trunk at all while it was raining/trunk had water on it I can almost guarantee that you got your shock sensor wet. Open your trunk and pull off the plastic trim covering the passenger side wheel well, you will see a small black plastic box on the wheel well, unplug the power to it, and allow the thing to dry out for a few days before plugging it back in. (It's possible that it needs sensitivity adjustment but try this first.)

Trunk never was opened, it was just going off wheni got out from work, I've unplugged the sensor, but when I looked at it andit was completely dry even in the spare compartment it was dry as well

You can always use the key to manually lock your doors w/o setting the alarm.

I was gonna ask something in regards to that.... if I get a custom dyno tune done and have to disconnect battery for whatever reason to reset things, will I lose the tune as well or is it embedded in?

Well its only the factory alarm, and I turned the alarm on and off multiple times with the clicker but as soon as I armed it again, it goes off.... I haven't connected it back yet cuz I don't want to deal with issues anymore

no it stopped going off once the sensor was disconnected, but the problem was I did deactivate it with the OT remote and it would still reactivate once I would arm the car again
but as far as my other question does anybody know about dyno tunes and disconnecting the battery if you will lose your tune?
