So today I went to get into my car, and the outside door handle on the driver side is busted so I have to open it with the inside door handle. Well when I did it set off the alarm. I have never had this happen before and other then the 'Security' light on the inside I didnt even know that it had an alarm.

So is there any way to get my alarm to not set off. There is no key-fob that I am aware of and I wouldnt even know how to go about getting a new one. So how can I get it to not go off? Is there any way to by-pass it?

EDIT: Just now in the course of me writing this out my alarm went off again. Without warning and no one had touched the car. Please help because my horn going off randomly is quite embarassing.

Try unlocking it from the passenger door(with the key). I had the same problem with I installed a doorlock actuator and keyless entry in mine. For some reason if it arms from the inside (i.e. the lock level on the inside of the car) while the door is closed, the car goes into ultra wacky mode and will go off hours after it's parked. I have no clue why it's like this. I unplugged the three wire harness that goes into the lock level behind the door panel on the driver's side. I assume that the wires act as the triggers for the alarm, and if they don't see anything, the alarm just assumes that everything is A-OK. I haven't had it go off crazy like, so I guess I did the right thing.

Well I pull out my key from the ignition and it makes a beeping sound like the alarm is arming. Its not like when I lock it or anything, its every time I pull the key out of the ignition. I know that it does need a new ignition switch because sometimes it locks in the ACC position and I have to fiddle with it to get it to roll all the way back to the LOCK position.

The alarm should arm when you lock the door, not when you remove the key. I don't recall mine ever beeping at me either.

The alarm goes off in a seemingly random pattern, but it is not.

Over time, the inside lock lever wears out and gravity alone will cause the alarm to arm, then some vibration (wind, truck passing, etc) will cause the lock mechanism to vibrate and the system will think the lock has been lifted up...

ALARM.

In the case above where the removal of the key starts the arming process it is probably because there is already a little downward pressure on the lock lever.
