Weird electrical/alarm question
Weird electrical/alarm question So basically my car alarm (only two honks) goes off almost EVERY morning around 6-9am, and has done that for the last couple of years.
And I just wanted to know WHY? haha. I dont have a problem with it, but its so odd, maybe whitebird can chime in with an answer.
I just have the basic key fob lock/unlock rearx2.

Maybe a coincidence of when it goes off, but have you checked the sensor to make sure there's no moisture in it? A quick search would've helped but just disconnect it, then open it up to let dry. Depending how bad it is you may need to either purchase another one, or it may still work after you let it air out, or just disconnect it for good.

I wouldnt disconnect my alarm / buy a new one because its not broken.

He's not talking about disconnecting the alarm (you can't anyway because it's part of the BCM). He's referring to the shock sensor in the right quarter panel in front of the spare tire. They tend to get damaged by moisture and cause random alarm events. You can unplug the sensor and still have all other alarm functions. Then you can see if the false alarms (or random honks) stop happening.
