there's a way you can adjust the alarm's sensitivity in the spare tire well. sounds like some kind of electrical problem to me though. anyways, if you lock the car from the inside before you close the door, the alarm shouldn't be set, i think.

I'd try disconnecting the shock sensor if turning the sensitivity down doesn't work. Using the manual slide locks probably won't arm the alarm depending on the mode, easy to try. Using the fob or lock buttons will arm the system.

if nothing works and i jsut snip the wire, wouldnt that signal the car that someone snipped the wire (like a theif) and just not start? or is our system not that high tech? just want to have all my bases covered

No need to cut any wires, just unplug the shock sensor and the rest of the system will still function. Take a look inside the shock sensor casing, sometimes they get water in them causing corrosion.

so the shock sensor only goes off if some is playing their music too loud or someone bumps into it right, so unplugging it will leave the rest of the system armed in case someone tries to break into the car, is this correct?
i turned down the sensitivity (turned it CCW) and it hasnt gone off since, but did turn it almost 2 complete turns, is that way too much?
thanks for your help
