Alarm keeps going off
Hey guys! I have 02tl-s that ive never heard the alrm on in years, since yesterday that is. it keeps setting itself off, ive checked all doors, hood and trunk. nothing is loose. Is there a reset? fuse? or something im missing?

Try disconnecting the hood latch switch. That seems to be the most common cause of this. It's the two wires going to the hoodlatch. The connector can be difficult to disconnect at times.

My guess is a faulty hood latch sensor as well.

I replaced my hood latch a month ago for the same issue. It gets gummed up with crud and the contacts get worn. Replace it yourself if you can. I had the garage do it but could have saved $80 labour.

A couple of years back mine got so bad that I ended up disconnecting the alarm system.
they replaced so many different components and couldn't figure it out so we just disconnected it.
I mean I know I run an elevated risk of being robbed...but the way I see it, how many people actually think twice when they hear a car alarm in a parking lot or outside? most just assume its the owner. If its gonna get stolen, it's gonna get stolen and they'll be able to disconnect the alarm fast enough anyways
