Alarm Problems

Thought i would send out a post before i bring my car out of storage to see if anyone has run into the same problem as i am having.

When ever its humid out or raining hard my car goes crazy. First the alarm goes off. So I disarm it and lock the car again with the remote but the interior lights stay on.. no matter how many times i press lock or unlock then lock, they wont go out and if i leave it with the lights on the alarm goes off again within 5 mins. Only way around this is disconnecting the battery.

Any help would be great

Cheers
Mike
