Default Need Alarm Help!!

My alarm has just been randomly going off. Getting out of bed to turn it off at 5am is kind of annoying. Any ideas what it could be?? Could it be the vibration sensor??? If so is there anyway I could just disconnect it so that the alarm would just sound when the door is opened?? Any and all help is appreciated. Also, on a maybe not so unrealated topic: My one key fob has gone dead, apparently it just deprogrammed itself. Does anyone have the instructions to reprogram it?? Thanks guys!!

Default Alarm Problems!! Help!!!

I posted this in the electronics forum, but have yet to recieve any love, so I thought I'd try it here. The alarm on my car is randomley going off. I was woken up 3 times the other night by it. It wasn't set off by anything, and this has actually happened a few times in the past. Before I take it to the dealer and drop a good amount of cash, I was wondering if any of you guys have any idea what it could be. Could it be a bad shock sensor??? If so, is it possible to disconnect the sensor and still have the alarm go off when the doors are opened?? Also, one of my key fobs has de-programmed itself. Does anyone have the instructions to re-program it??? Thanks a million.

your alarm sensor is on your right rear fender, check it out and see of you can see a water line on it. Mine goes off sometimes when it rains really hard or if i pressure wash my car.
