OEM Security system Malfunction???
In the middle of the night my Vert will start flashing the turnsignals, the headlights come on in the buckets and shine throught the FTP's and the horn will stay on.... It will do it for about 10 minute intervals.. I run outside to see WTF is going on, open the door to the car and it stops....... I am baffled and am not sleeping well.... HELP!!!!

Yeah it is comical, my doberman is getting pissed off though... The weird thing is (address blocked) I don't even lock the car... I live out in the boonies and would hear someone coming down the driveway.. Plus the 70 LB doberman would tear them a new one... It's really odd...

check the latch switch on the doors (the lever that locks and unlocks inside the car).
If the latch switch is dirty or out of alignment (usually from a door panel put on slightly off position or the handle itself adjust too low).
If the latch switch is out of position the factory security system can trigger intermittently.

Hmm would make sense due to the fact that my Outer handle is broken on the Vert... Weird intermitent problem.. I wonder though why opening the door would stop the alarm??

got any cats in the neighborhood? I don't know how sensitive the stock system is but I know that a cat jumping up to the hood of my dad's truck sets it off.

if that doesnt work also check the trunk latch because i belive the alarm system is tied in with that also and thats what was giving me my problems...and maybe 4 some reason your alarm control box went out i belive thats under pass seat or under the dash...but if u never lock the car i would just dissconect the system.

yeah i used to have that problem in my vert.... it was very rare that it did it, i just thought it went away. now that i think about it, it hasnt happened since i stretched the springs on my lock/unlock switch. i think there is a write up on it somewhere. it also fixes the follow me system that locks and unlocks the pass. door with the drivers.
