Car alarm is acting up
Sup fellas, my mom has a 97 Toyota Avalon, and ever since i replaced the driver & passenger sun visor w/mirror & lights built in, the alarm acting strangely.
For example when i lock the door, 10 seconds later the alarm makes a chirping
sound twice. And once in while the alarm would go off.
I thought by disconnecting the battery would help, but it didnt. Also when i connect the battery the alarm didn't go off, wonder why is that?
If anybody could give me some suggestions to get rid of this problem i would greatly appreciated.

If there is one i do not know where to find them.
What puzzled me is when i disconnect the battery and put it back on, why doesn't the battery go off? Any ideas?

What type of alarm is it? If it is a Directed brand alarm that has rapid resume logic it won't go off when you reconnect the battery. The double chirps mean is an error report, there are a couple of ways to fix this...

I like to add a few things.
1. When closing the door the alarm did not lock it self like before.
2. The red light does not blink, unless i hit lock.
3. When the car is lock, the alarm doesn't go off when i try to open the door?
Anyway, i will take it to the shop.
