how do i disconect my factory alarm. where is it. the reason i am asking is because it keeps going off and draining my battery. it goes off when nothing touches it at all. just goes off its a pita i have to jump start my car lol. this morning it was fine becuase it didnt go off at all last night it started right up but when it keeps going off at night tahts when i have trouble.

 

Try pulling the fuse out, if there is one. You might not have any keyless entry either...

 

hmm well if so that is a pita . is there anyway to turn it off. or change the settings at all? i looked in my chiltons but it doenst say anything about anti theft or alarm anywhere.

 

ok well i know where the box is but what do i have to do to disable just the alarm ? can i just cut a certain wire?

 

mines was going off like that also, waking everybody on the street up.. Sp I unpluged it and went to sleep and pluged it back in the morning...

 

ok.. you mean every day you do that or just once lol.

 

yeah lately my max has been goin off too....no idea how to adjust sensitivity or what! and on my 93 G20....btw wear yer sexy jeans

 

check your battery connections.

If your alarm losses power for a second it'll sound once its reconnected.

my ground connector was loose, and I had the same problem, but it was obvious b/c all my settings on the headunit would get reset.

 

ya none of my settings ever get messed with. my clock and radio are all fine they dont get reset or anything liek that so i dont think its a ground problem most likley

 

maybe alarm module power/ground problem?

are the OEM shock sensors adjustable? if so where is it mounted?

 

Maybe someone is trying to steal your car everynight

 

Mine always goes off too. But thats cause I did that stupid shock sensor mod. Since then it goes off all the time. When i'm at school I literally get at least one person a day coming into my class to tell me my alarm is going off. If someone is bassing a mile away, it goes off. Or if it rains hard enough, it goes off. Or if a big truck passes by, it goes off. I got to pull it out or turn the sensitivity all the way down.

 

so it is adjustable? where is it located?

 

You guys should really invest in another alarm, i just put on the prestige aps-997 and it's a very good alarm. I have more shock sensors installed, i have keyless entry, and auto-start. Since i have auto start i also had 2 safety switches installed(meaning you can't start the car in gear, if you put it in gear it dies, touch the brake-it dies, etc) it's a very good investment i guess so much more safety then the stock one. I mean you get a two-way LCD pager and all. 300 for all this is worth it.

 

Check the alarm sensor in the engine compartment...had the same problem with the alarm going off in the middle of the night...I disconnected the sensor and cleaned the connection. Also put in some spacers to raise it up...problem solved!!

 

It was an aftermarket shock sensor that I wired in to the stock alarm. The stock alarm does not have a shock sensor. If you are interested in doing it, I'm pretty sure it's in the stickies so check it out.

 

where in the engine is the alarm sensor? i woudl get a new alarm but im in school and cant afford it .

 

Just take the fuse out. This shouldnt hinder any other thing on your car, unless you have keyless entry. If not, pull the fuse

 

doesnt every maxima have keyless? i want keyless. im just going to look into cuting out just the alarm ill look in the book and try and figure out how to do it.

 

I didnt know that any 4th gen maximas came with this. mine sure doesnt have keyless, but i wish it did!
