LOL mine does it when a good storm comes through. It even does it on New Years and July 4th.

From all the fireworks and the occasional 1/4 stick of dynamite

discuss.

Im right across 75 from you and Ive had that happen once, but thought nothing of it. If ur close enough the static electricity will make a chicks hair stand up..lol

Yeah there is a little black box sitting behind the trim panel in the pass rear quarter. Can;t miss it, Ironically I think mine is labeled shock sensor. It goes off in thunder storms. It is set to where when people open their door on mine it goes off!

Wow, that's freaky. Strong booms of thunder is about the only weather that has occassionally tripped my alarm. A few times while it was sitting in the garage

Mine has an "ENFORCER" aftermarket alarm, it was installed by previuos owner, it looks like someone did it professonaly, it has two dials for the sensitivity. Mine is very sencible, it would go off with just the bass sound of a car passing by... it is annoying but I haven't mess with the dials, I guess a lighning would set it off easily. Are these alarms(ENFORCER) any good? Any link or info to a manual?

Mine did it last week, it rained like 4 days straight, everytime I would fall asleep, lightning would flash and the Trans Am would have a fit. I finally unlocked it. I would turn down the sensitivity but i've been trying to catch the damn neighbors cat jumping on my car, I have a bb with his name on it.
