please use clearer descriptions, in both thread title and post.
you type like my 7 yr old nephew talks.

did you just "got it", or have you had the car for a while? Was this happening before?
WHEN did the alarm go off? while you were driving?
you shut what off and what started again?
how long were both the car and the alarm off before the siren went off again?
Did you lock the doors before it went off?

do you have a strut tower brace? is it windy? (don't ask why, just answer plz. I'll explain later if needed.)

Did you try sticking the key in the door and turning the lock to turn off the alarm? (That's how you're supposed to turn it off.)

Ok sorry for the bad description!! I unlocked the doors with the key,then the alarm went off!! I then opened the hood and unhooked the battery cable,which stopped the alarm. Then when i hooked it back up it went off again. So next i removed the relay beside the battery and put it back in and it quit..
I then drove the car about 5 miles and shut the car off and opened the door and it went off again..So i took the relay out and put the terminal back on and it still went off with the relay out.. I am wondering can I just remove the security all together or just disarm it?

woot

oh and i have had the car for 2 years and this has only happened twice till today.

My car did the same thing but I have a GXE. The alarm went off when I opened the door. All you have to do is when the alarm goes off, shut the door, and put the Key in the trunk lock and turn it. You can also open the passenger side door with the key and it should turn off the alarm. Mine got to the point where it would go off everytime I open the door, so I just umplugged it from the Anti-theft relay.

^^ agreed. sounds like the sensor for the lock in the driver's door is broken. does it work using the above suggestions?

woot

So how do you remove it? Do you just take the relay out and leave it or what? I removed the relay and it still went off!

woot

BenStoked: It went off after i inserted the key in the passenger door! I would really like to just remove it all together.

yeah, that's right (or close enough). there is a box under the driver's knee kick thing (under the steerng wheel. one of those boxes is the factory alarm box (think it's metal). unlplug, you should be okay.

ok man i really appreciate it!!! I will look in my haynes manual and see if I can find which one you are talking about.

no need for a manual, just look under the steering wheel and it says "anti-theft" on it I believe. Just pull the plug out.
