Subject: lol trust me its the HOOD SENSOR Author: snitch740i : member since December, 2007 : 3713 posts Posted on: 2008-03-14 04:14:37

I had that issue for 1 year....drove my Neighbors crazy.. they were going to shoot it or I was.....I unplugged the Ultrasonic sensor and it would still go off. I would take OFF all the fuses to the Alram and the light s would Blink...lol I Couldnt WIN......until I got smart and found the Hood PIn for the alarm.....

The hood sensor (PIN ) is located front of the ca by the radiator...Problem is that it rusts- from rain or car washes- inside the (plastic pin housing )and it has a constant contact making your ALARM go OFF...just unplug it........the wires snaps right off the plug....after that its Fixed.....I can now leave my moonroof open and lock it.....THANK god...ultrasonic works cuz just last week my wife was waiting for me in the car and Locked the car by the remote...she moved and it went off...lol...I told her not to do that again only lock the doors by the door lock switch
