Alarm's problem
My alarm goes off by itself since last month. Its usually goes off after I have a short trip, like taking my kid to school, going out to buy to go. If I drive all the way to/from work(30+ miles), I had no problem. I search everywhere (no just this forum), I can't find an answer. Is there anyone who had this problem before?
I went to a mechanic, he said I would better to take it back to dealership to fix this problem since he didn't want to touch the alarm, and if he did something wrong, he may not be able to start the engine.
So I called the dealer (the one I used to go when the warranty wasn't expired), he said I have 2 choices. 1. disconnect the speaker (just $70 bucks) 2. replace the alarm unit ($200+). Some people said it maybe the battery inside the alarm unit, but the said the battery can't be replaced.
Any suggest?
I think I will change the alarm unit, and hopefully it will work. But I also will ask them to get the error code and see if it's something else.
I will post the result after I go to the dealer, so people may search and find the answer from this problem.
