I haven't driven my Max for a bit because the wife is pregnant and I have to drive her around and she can't get into the Max as easy as she used to, and I had a cheapy Sears battery in there which died. I replaced it the other day with a new Interstate battery, and when I hook up both positive and negative terminals, the alarm starts going off. I get in the car and try to start the car to see if that would stop the alarm, but to no avail. I had installed an alpine alarm in the car last year, so I figured I'd unplug that and see if that was causing it, no dice. I was thinking about pulling the fuse for the factory alarm and see if that works. Anyone have any other ideas what it may be?

 

did you try disarming the alarm with your remote?

 

I have an Alpine in my other ride...look for a by-pass switch or button.

 

The Maxima didn't come with the stock remotes. I'm not sure if I tried to lock and unlock the door with the key. I forgot that turns it off too.

 

isn't the alpine alarm with a remote?

 

The alpine does, but when the alarm goes off for that, the horn doesn't honk, just the siren. I unhooked the alpine alarm and that didn't help. I'm going to try locking and unlocking the door with the key and see if that works in the morning.
