Factory alarm goes off at random Two days in a row now the horn on my 2001 Z28 has just gone off for no reason. It's in my backyard so it hasn't been messed with or hit.
I searched on this topic and found rain or moisture might be the problem, but the car hasn't seen water in months at least.
While searching I found that the shock sensor can just be disconnected.
Is disconnecting the shock sensor a permanent solution? This won't effect anything else?

You can disconnect the shock sensor and not effect anything else. I had the same problem, but mine would go off like every 10 mins. The alarm will still go off if someone tries to start the car or break in.

I'm not saying its your the problem however it could be the possibility. Go take off your alarm sensor out, unplug and take it part. When I took mine apart, the contacts in the circuit were all corroded from the moisture from the previous rain/wash and humidity. I cleaned them up, alcohol/Qtip and put them together, sealed them tight w/ electrical tape and it works again like it supposed to w/o the random alarm going off.

Yup, same think happened to me. 99 percent of the time when our alarms go off without reason, this is the culprit. I still wanted a working shock sensor so I just bought a new one for cheap and replaced the old corroded one, and then sealed it up with some silicone.
