How To Disable Stock Security System?
My security system has a mind of it's own and goes off whenever it feels like. It's embarrassing and I want to just disable it.
Thanx, Ken |
I think there is a fuse for it under the drivers side dash.
but then again, I could be wrong. But I may not be, unless I am in which case I will be. |
i've heard of ppl grounding out certain sensor wires (door, hood) to make the car think that it isn't closed, and therefore won't activate the alarm.
I went the hood sensor route...just disconnected the sensor, and then I shorted the two wires. Now the stock alarm never activates. |
When my alarm goes off, my battery dies. Damn alarm wanting to flash my HID's. :(

My alarm will activate with my hood/hatch open.
|
I too would like to know what to do. A couple days ago the alarm just decided to go off while I was driving. I don't have the money at the time to get a new alarm put in.
|
While driving? Wow ...

I have never had the alarm trigger on my current gen 3, how do I test it to verify that it is working?
My previous gen 3 used to randomly trigger and then I knew it was working... |

Mine beeps upon locking with only drivers side door open.

Those of you with issues, take your drivers side door handle off and take a look at the rods that attach to the lock mechanisms. There are these small plastic sleeves that attach the rod to the mechanism. if you have tears in them or coming off, that could cause your alarms not working correctly. |
Well until I figure out how to disconnect it at least I found out it shuts off after 5 minutes. I guess that's better than leaving it unlocked for long periods time in public areas.

On the front hood lock, remove the hood lock, there is a sensor connector mounted to the hood lock. Disconnect when your alarm is deactiveated and it won't trigger ever again until you hook it back up. But find out why your alarm is acting up in the first place.
BTW, don't try to steal my car, I have a SigSauer P225 trained on it at all times. |

My security would activate with the hood open, but not the hatch. I disconnected the hatch wire. It was much easier than removing the hood lock assembly. I then had to ground the connection for the car to think the hatch is open. Just a small spade connector crimped on one end of the wire and a round connector crimped on the other end. The spade end fits in the stock connector and then just find a good grounding spot for the other end. Make sure the hatch light is in the on position. When the light comes on, you have a good ground connection.
The only drawback is that you have to leave the hatch light in the off position while it is closed, but will still work if you turn it on when needed. Hope this helps! |
Disable factory alarm system how to:
Remove the drivers side kick panel. Unplug the white 20 pin connector. Unplug the white 8 pin connector that is directly above the 20 pin connector. Reinstall the kick panel. Viola, Done! D. |

I hear unplugging those wires will cause the passenger side door not to lock and unlock along with the driver's door? Is this true? Also, the way I disabled my factory alarm is by taking the factory hood pin wire in CPU#2 (Drivers Kick Panel - Brown/White) tapped into it and then grounded it the other end with a ring crimp onto the body. I tried disconnecting the hood pin switch itself (in engine bay hood latch). This didn't work for me. My factory alarm still would arm itself. |

Disabled mine that way too and no problems with the passenger side lock..
|
Haha, just noticed this is such an old thread...lol...
|
Yeah, my alarm went off today at 3 a.m., 5:50 a.m., and 7:30 a.m. but I wasn't there. Neighbors got very pissed.
|
wow this is a very old thread! lol zerobanger actually helped me disable my stock alarm half a decade ago and it still works likea charm.
|
you can just unplug the middle connector on CPU2 and itll disable you alarm... and your non stop blinking seatbelt light if you have that issue too...
|
take off the drivers door panel, look for the four pin plug towards the outside of the door that has a mint green/black wire in it. put that wire directly to ground perminantley. that is the disarm wire. you can also get that wire in the kick at the alarm module but i cant remember which plug exactly.
|
With the alarm disabled by pulling the 20 and 8 pins mentioned above, we then don't have to worry about the constant drain the alarm caused as well on the battery.
Tim |
the alarm shouldnt have a significant draw on the battery even in the armed state. if it does then yes diconecting it would be best.
|
With the small pc-680 battery, a week or two with the alarm armed would drain it down to the point of not starting. Atleast I think the alarm was the only thing making a drain at the time.
Tim |
abosolutley. i ended up ditching that battery cause it would die all the time...lol.

Why not just fix alarm? Disconnecting white connector will remove functionality like key lights and rev buzzer.
Stock alarm is not that bad, why disabling it. I had previous owner just cut wires to key in a door(To take door handle out) and alarm would go crazy. After repairs I enjoy working system. |
I guess a quick disconnect is easier than tracking down what is actually causing it to go off in the middle of the night.
With that in mind, what woud FIX everyone's alarm system woes? Where to start type thing? Tim |
Electricity is science about connections :)
If you need to troubleshoot intermittant issues - you need to locate bad connection. That big connector on CPU2 got all switches inputs. Alarm goes off when hood open, trunk open, door open without a key. Alarm disarms when you open hatch or door with a key. If alarm goes off in a middle of night - I would start troubleshooting by disabling door, trunk and hood switches one by one. Immitating "closed" position so alarm would arm fine. Waiting for few days seeing that problem goes away and then you know which switch is bad. If alarm goes off when you open door with a key - then you need to clean/fix/replace keylock switch. Or, I heard they just fall off key cylinder. Factory alarm is no worse then any fancy schmancy aftermarket stuff. It's all about inputs. You can easily augment stock alarm with tilt sensor and proximity sensors. Just use one of the inputs and diode isolate. |
