Hi Misty. Welcome to the forums. Have you considered getting rid of the kids? Maybe eBay 'em, or sunthin? [sm=joke.gif]Just kidding...

Do you know if it's the "factory" alarm, or an aftermarket unit?

I'm not too familiar with your model, but, is teh alarm de/activated by the keyfob? If so, how old are the batteries? Maybe your car is trying to tell you it needs fresh ones...

Alternatively, have you tried an exorcist?[sm=badbadbad.gif]

Hello,
I just put a new batterie in it also a new alternator. yes the key disarms it but is arms itself as soon as you take the key out so if you dont get out of the car within 39 seconds the alarm goes off you ahve to put the key in the lock only the drivers door to disarm it I hate it drives me crazy.. not sure if factory or not??? would love to e-bay the kids they say I can... any suggestion's???

Misty, You may have to take to to an aftermarket installer and ask them to trouble-shoot it 4 ya... Doesn't look like NEbody has anything constructive to add (unlike MY suggestions) BTW, how'd that Exorcist I sent over work out? With teh Car AND teh kids?[8D]

A young GrandMa?!?!?! Who troubleshoots her OWN niggling problems... I'm suddenly HOT for you[sm=icon_ladiesman.gif] <---I used to look like that, BTW, back in the 70's<<<


Is the clicking speed dependant? Prevelant ONLY when you brake? During turns? If so, is teh sound consistent WITH teh turn, or against it? You... Ummm... dint accidentally lock one of your kids IN teh trunk, didja?
