My FD is crazy.. It definitelty needs Prozac. At any given time, the stock alarm goes off. No one bumping it...not even a gust of wind. I've done a search on this topic and someone said that a low battery can cause the stock alarm to bug out.. Had the battery checked, it's fine.

I don't have access to my shop manual right now (I'm in the middle of moving, and it's all packed away in boxes). Since I'm in a new place, I don't want to **** off my new neighbors by my FD randomly going nuts one night. How do I disable the stock alarm?

Thanks

 

You must have bad ground or a short somewhere for the alarm to go nuts like that, a low battery may couse it once in 10 years to go off, and as long as you can start your car that battery is in pretty good shape.

To disable the alarm:
I'm not sure if this works on all FD's but in mine does, if I open the door while the car is still running, than I shut it off and just simply lock the door manualy, alarm will not be armed.
If I do the above and I still want the alarm to be armed than I must close the door (not lock) insert the key and turn the key counterclocwise (openning position) and open the door at the same time while the key is still turned and than take the key out, close the door and lock normaly, than the alarm will be armed.
Weird isn't it ?

I'll give that a try, but I think it's just that my alarm is screwed up. I would like to eliminate/disable the factory alarm permanently.

 

I'm not sure but there should be a fuse or a relay you can delete and good buy stock alarm.
I'm gonna look at the manual if I can find anything also.

If you find out, let me know. My hazards will flash randomly (mainly just in cold weather), and every once in a while the headlights will go up and down with the horn honking. Sometimes they happen at the same time, but mostly its just the hazards flashing.

I've since had to pull my horn relay so as to not **** people off.

There was an aftermarket Clifford alarm installed on the car, however I guess they didn't completely remove or bypass the stock alarm.

 

Same with me.. The guy I bought it from installed a Viper alarm which I guess he didn't bypass. Half *** job. I'll let you know if I find something!

 

Yeah.. I'll look for the relay/fuse when I get home. Thanks, John.

 

mine does the same, but only when I unlock the doors with the aftermarket alarm. You can disable the stock one by pulling a plug down by your left foot (to the left of clutch pedal) this will diconnect alarm and I think the beeping when you open the door and your keyes are still in the ignition.

Mine didnt always do this. I belive it is a short somewhere in the electrical system for one or both of my alarms.

 

I've posted before on this topic .... but

Ground the hood pin and that will disable the stock alarm.

 

Is there only one plug?

 

Think I found something to resolve it.. Disconnect CPU 2 (20 pin connector) on the left kick panel.
