A few seconds after arming? First thing I'd do is try turning the sensitivity down on the shock sensor, if that doesn't work disconnect it temporarily and see if it stops.

The shock sensors are also vulnerable to moisture and judging by your location I guess you get your fair share of that. Sometimes turning down the sensitivity will work, sometimes only disconnecting the sensor or replacing it will solve the problem.

Yep we're getting hammered by precipitation in one form or another. Lst night it was a combination of freezing and then fog. My guess is condensation. Where is the sensor? Is it in the back by the speaker? I that the only sensor on board? Thx for the help

It's under the hatch trim panel on the right side in front of the spare tire. There's only the one.
