Any ideas why my alarm won't stop going off and if there is anyway to lock the car without the alarm being activated?
Thanks!

Re: Alarm won't stop going off (Blair591)
I have a similar problem. I have a 1997 Infinity QX4, and recently the alarm started going off sporadically. At first, it was only once in awhile. Now, it seems that whenever I lock it (whether by remote or manually) it will inevitably go off, sometimes in 10 minutes, sometimes not for an hour or more. I replaced the battery and cleaned the terminals thinking it could be a drop in voltage. It's not a fuse problem either. I live in Phoenix and it seems worse when the temperature drops (i.e. it can sometimes be fine during the heat of the day - 70 degrees or higher). I've brought it to an alarm place and they said they'd it for half a day to try and diagnose it. They also said they didn't know if they could simply install a new alarm, and bypass the factory one. I don't want to bring it to the dealer because I'm sure it will be a $500+ charge, and that probably won't even cover the cost of the alarm if they end up replacing it. I'd appreciate any info you might be able to pass on. Thanks much.

Re: Alarm won't stop going off (austin_rgl)
i Had a problem where i would disarm my new alarm and the factory alarm would go off.
the problem was stupid i have a 2001 pathfinder.
the problem was the key and the remote. when i use the key to lock the vehicle it turned on my factory alarm so when i unlocked my new alarm with the new remote it thought i was opening the door from the inside.
What i did was stop using the key all together. so i unlock the door with the key than only use the remote to lock and unlock the doors, i never had that problem again.
before this i would make it a mission to unlock start my vehicle than bolt down the street so my factory alarm would hopefully not wake up my whole street. than it would shut off after like a min of driving or so. Very Very Annoying.
Hopefully this helps you.
