Default Alarm goes off when opening front doors
When my car sits for a while unlocked, with alarm not armed, and I go and open either of the front doors, the alarm goes off... It's very weird. Any ideas? And also is there a way to disarm/disconnect the alarm permanently?

Thanks.

Are all your door actuators working correctly?

Sometimes they stick as they get older. The connection or lack there of triggers the alarm as the door is open.

U need to see which door it is and isolate the problem.

Did you find out if they are sticking first?

Cosign...Im betting sticky door latch mechanism as well. WD-40 is your friend.

Are your doors locking when you use your key fob?
