The factory alarm on my car keep go on every 10-20 by itself have this happen to anyone before. I call Acura and they wanted $110 just to take a look at them.

 

I'm not an expert at alarm installs, but if the factory alarm has a in-line fuse you can pull it to disable it. My old VSE Derringer alarm had that problem and I pulled the fuses.

For at least $110, I would buy an aftermarket alarm. You'll get a dual-stage sensor, diagnostics, soft chirp siren, the ability to roll the windows, pop the trunk, etc. for about $250.

Yes it has happened 2 me also, i own a 1998 tl and sometimes when i open the driver door, the alarm would go on by itself, it is getting really annoying.

 

i had that happen too. i found the prob to be a small pebble stuck in the drivers side door switch. i don't know how it got there, but after removing it, the alarm worked fine.

 

You guys are great help. I think the same thing too, probably going to get aftermarket alarm for this car.

Thanks for all input.

Ok I know this is an old thread, but I am now having this problem too. I can't firgure out which switch is triggering my alarm. Does anyone know where the trigger for the trunk is?

 

i got the same problem. when i open the door it goes off sometimes. or i'll be in the house and it'll go off. so what's wrong??

 

mine rarely ever goes off.. the only time mine can go off if i have the windows down (the car is already locked) and if i reach into my car and unlock it and open the door, it will go off

 

thats what mine is doing, just going off for no reason. wTF??

 

another reason why i'm going to sell my car when i come back from Kuwait.

 

well, so I am taking my car in tomorrow to get it checked out. wish me luck!

 

good luck.

 

u can check to see if all the doors are latching correctly when u close it... just sit in ur car and close all the doors.. my rear passsenger door was loose and that was wat was triggering the alarm.. i just got a mallet and hammered the latch in and it locked in better.. try it...

 

Ok so I took my car to the dealership, and of course my alarm would not go off while I was there, so of course they didn't do anything to fix it. damn this sucks

 

ok ok, i have you all beat!!!!!!!! my alarm goes off in the middle of the night or during school because it thinks by back doors are open. but they are slammed shut. for some reason my rear door sensors are messed up and think the door is open sometimes when its really not.

GET THIS, i roll down my back windows and all my lights turn on in the car, because when i roll down my windows it thinks the doors are open, so when i rolll them down the damn red lights on the dash light up saying my back doors are open. OMG.

 

My alarm has the same problem (goes off without provocation), though it never goes off when I open a door. I traced the problem to the trunk. I was going to go in to the dealer, but I forgot, and had a road trip coming up last weekend (drove to Montreal, about 1500km), and I didn't want to leave my car in downtown Mtl with the alarm going off all night. I took a hammer and knocked the trunk latch down a few times- not enought to see a difference, but probably about a millimeter or so. This completely solved the problem, FWIW.

Nice I think mine is from the trunk latch too
