Default Alarm system trouble!

I have a 2000 T/a with the factory alarm, and it goes off for no reason in light rain and light winds, i have turned the sensitivity all the way down on my sensor and it still will go off. Any ideas?

that sounds like the door pin switch is shorting out when it gets wet.
try unplugging the shock sensor all together to try and isolate the problem.

On my car, when I use the key fob or power button to lock it every 15-20 seconds the horn beeps? I wonder if it the same type of issue?

I had the same issue after arming the car, a few seconds later it would start going off for no reason. It stopped after a month or so. It almost started again but I started locking the door manually and next day I armed it and worked fine from then on. I don't really know what the hell that was about.

There is really no way to fix the shock sensor. You can either replace it or just leave it disconnected if it's causing the problem.
