    I have noticed that several times at night my alarm will go off. It will only beep 4 or 5 times and then stop. It'll do this 2-3 times a night (as you can guess, really, really annoying!).

    So, whats up with my alarm?

    I had the same problem some years ago with mine. We had recently had a hail storm that, I'm guessing, probably hit right on one of the pressure sensors for the alarm and damaged it. If the wind blew too hard or a neighborhood cat jumped up on the car, the alarm went off. I ended up disabling my alarm system. There are a few sensitivity levels to it, if I remember correctly, but I didn't feel like screwing with it anymore. Go check out your owner's manual. It'll tell you how to change the alarm settings.

    Thanks. Sadly my car didn't come with an owner's manual. If anyone finds out how to change the sensitivity please let me know.

    If I can get to my car and dig up the manual later today, I'll find the instructions for ya!

    For starters, I remember it had something to do with the MALL Program fuse.

    It may just be warning tones, if a stray cat or dog wanders too close to your car.

    Or maybe you need to adjust the proximity sensors (specific how-to in the complete owner's manual for your alarm system).

    My warning tone only chirps twice, though...not 4 or 5 times.

    My alarm goes off whenever my dad starts his truck next to my car or when a loud car/truck goes by.
