Hey i was wondering how do I disarm the stock alarm system? Evertime I open my doors the alarm goes off and I can only disarm it by unlocking the hatch?

I want to permantly turn off the alarm, how do I do this?

Remove it.

It's a big shiney goldish colour box with a harness plugged into it.

Take apart the passenger side paneling around the stock speaker (underside of the p/s dash), and have a look around for it.

You'll see it.. It takes 2 seconds to unplug, and about 4 seconds to totally remove..

turn the key in the door to unlock, for disarm

the door locks won't disarm it and ever time I unlock it and open the door it goes off. Thats why i got to do it from the hatch

Try replacing your driver door handle with another equipped with the harness for the lighted/alarmed keyhole- did the trick on my vert, and the lighted key looks sweet!

Well i fixed it, took the door panels off and noticed that the harness in the door and the one in the car were both unplug, All works now.

My "Security" system only blinks when I open the doors, or the doors are locked for a period of time.

Thanks Black13B for the tip.

If the key in the door turned to unlock does not disarm it, then the key switch might be bad and in need of replacing.

might be your whole problem right there.

And remember the latch switch on the inside of the doors will not disarm, they will only arm and trigger the system.

And also remember that Black13B's post on the alarm location only works on the S4 (86-88), as the S5 has it built into the CPU.

Try to figure mine out icemark.

Anytime I close the doors on my car the light automatically starts blinking. If I lock the doors and then go away for 5 min and then pop them open w/o using the key it doesnt go off. The light flashes whether or not the doors are even locked.

Icemark

On the S4 alarm, the light should be on solid for about 30 seconds after the last door was closed while locked. Then it will start blinking fast for another 15 seconds, and then start blinking slow (like once every 2 or 3 seconds) when armed.

If yours is always blinking fast, then it is not arming (probably a bad latch switch).

What does it take to set off the factory alarm? Mine only works on rare occasion, and it's only gone off twice. It arms itself about once in every 20 tries.
