Does anyone know what is going on? When I set the alarm about 10 min later it goes off by itself. Then about 10 min later again. Anyone else had this problem?

interior light

$10 says you left your map light on or something-

this has happened to me a few times- it's your max crying for attention because you're draining the battery.

check owner's manual for more info.

I do not think it is anything that is on in the car. Don't the lights get turned off even if u leave it on? I am pretty sure they turn off once you lock the doors...
I had the same problem, and still do when it get cold out. I open the door and the alarm goes off, have to disable it under teh wheel. Also would just go off at night by itself... Took it to the deal many times, and the problem always comes back. I guess that's cause I have a crappy dealer!! I think you have to reset the alarm, the chip that contorls it. I heared that helps.
