Default Pwr door lock\alarm prob...

As of late whenever I use my remote to lock my car, the alarm/horn will beep twice about every 15 seconds or so. It also does it when I use the power lock buttons. Has any one else had this problem? My dealer said they've seen it happen once before but can't explain it and didn't really offer any insight into fixing the problem. Any ideas? Thanks

hmmm...i dunno if anyone else has thought of this, but when our alarms are armed and we pop the hatch with the remote, once we clse teh hatch after a couple of seconds the alarm will honk two times real quick to let us know it is rearmed...it may have something to do with this...but i could only guess to what is actually causing it if it were related.

check for any pinched wires. This happened on my thunderbird factory alarm. A wire was pinched causing the intermitant (spelling) sound.
