?ghost in my car?
What's up people. I have 5th gen and was wondering if anybody else had/have a problem w/ their factory alarm goin off about every half hour? I had to disconnect the battery over night because of it. Well, I took it in for warranty work for 24hrs, they said they couldn't find anything wrong w/ it..Hhhmmm? Hopefully it'll never happen again.. The dealership was real cool. They made everything pleasant. Just wanted to vent. Peace.

Hmm.... If it happens again I would think that it is a sensor problem. This may sound like a few wierd questions but...
Your car been hit lately? Electrical storms in the area? Was anything done to your car very recently?
Could be a stuck relay. Next time it happens drive it to the dealership.. Sounds nuts, but if the problem is happening when you take your car there , they can start troubleshooting the problem.

yep.. map light..
bet dollars to doughnuts thats your problem. Even tho the battery saver cuts off the light in a few mins or the bulb could be out, it will still set the alarm off in short time. Mine actually takes about 2 hours. we have concluded it shouldnt do that (schematic), but it does on 2k models. 2k1 owners don't seem to have that 'feature'.

It wasn't any of the lights..I checked. I also checked doors, trunk, hood being closed properly. The dealership said they'll troubleshoot it but they're was nothin wrong w/ it...hhhmmm. They said it could be a bad remote in my situation. Maybe but I dout it. My max is working fine today. Oh yeah, there was no electrical storm, they is no evidence of my car gettin hit and I didnt do anything to my 2001 SE. Oh well. Thanks for the help fellow enthusiast. peace.

I had the same problem last year. Only during the cold weather though. Hasn't happened this year yet (knock on wood) cause its been freakishly warm for winter. Never figured out why it kept going off though.

Just a wacked out thought.
