Ugh, not again... (alarm)

Yep. My problem is back.. 2 months fixing it and today it just went off 3 times in 15 minutes. Once within seconds after me walking out to silence it... Blargh. No sign of a single thing to set it off. Time to play the dealer game and make good use of that tow button again! Thank God I live close to the dealer.
Yeah, I know. No real purpose to this post besides a mini rant...
Ugh.

I'm dealing with the same problem I ended up just unhooking the battery last night to shut it up.

That's gotta be a PITA. Hope you have better luck with their next fix.

Oh, it's being funny now. No peep out of it since it went off til I took it to the dealer. They tested both sensors and ran the codes (yes, I know it doesn't bring up codes....) and everything was tight, secure and working properly. Hadn't had a peep out of it since. I think I'll name it Little booger. That works just fine. I guess that triggering was just a complete freak incident...
Oh, and there's no need to disconnect the battery.. thats so much more difficult than pressing the button...

yes unfortunatly the alarm is still going off even with the button pressed. What we've decided is my car is just like a little dog, when your leaving it whines because you leave and it peridocally whines to remind you its waiting for you to return. haha

I'll be taking it down to Santa Barbara on friday for them to check it out. This is one of 3 problems we have been dealing with since April.
