Factory 2002 alarm won't stop going off!! Please help me troubleshoot this problem. Whenever I lock my doors in the camaro, 30 seconds later the alarm starts to go off. Have anyone had this problem before, and what did it take to stop it.
Any advise would be helpful

The usual cause of this problem is the shock sensor. They go screwy every so often for some unknown reason. You need to adjust the sensitivity down. You'll find the sensor under the trim panel at the right rear of the car in front of the spare tire.

I have the same problem happening in mine except that I turned the sensitivity down all the way and it still goes off. I just unplugged it for now until I get around to ordering a new shock sensor.

Well, I unplugged the shock sensor...and I can now lock my car via key fob...But i have a few questions.
How did it get wet....Never did before?
Inside the wire connector, There was a blueish tint on one of the contacts. what is this?
If I need a new shock sensor, how much are they?

They seem to get wet from runoff from the hatch being opened. You'll notice that water pours off the hatch when you open it in the rain and it goes down on the plastic trim covering the spare tire.
That blueish tint usually indicates overheating because of a bad (loose) connection. Check that the connector fits tightly together - that may be all that is causing your problem.
If you need to replace the sensor it is part number 10444928 which retails for about $36 but is available from gmpartsdirect for about $21.
