Please Help!!!
So I just put a license plate holder in the tow hitch and now my alarm is going off at random times.
I didn't see a sensor on the front bumper that would set this off??

It's usually related to the hood interlock switch. If you do a search here on that you'll probably come up with a few solutions, including the factory repair solution, which was to put a little rubber pad between the button and the hood to help push the button more securely. If your hood is slightly misaligned, it can cause this. Mine did.

Just my $.02.

Check post #23 at: Alarm goes off for no reason

Like the previous poster stated. I was adding washer fluid and that horn almost gave me a coronary! Also change the battery on the remotes (2016, not a 2032)

I checked the sensor and the previous owner already updated the end with a longer and bigger piece.....

What's the sensor for the alarm under the service flap called? Like actual name for it? I think mine needs replaced...

So upon further investigation, the bracket that holds the sensor in place was allowing the sensor to move back some once the service flap or hood was replaced! I used a zip tie to help keep it forward and in place where it was suppose to be. So far the alarm hasn't been going off! Hope this helps everyone with the same issue!
