my alarms gone crazy

[bobbyr]

ok, i have the stock car alarm on my camaro. its worked fine ever since i got the car. lately however, when i press the lock button on the remote..the doors lock, the horn chirps twice, and then about 3 or 4 seconds later the alarm starts going off on its own. it doest this every time. anybody got a clue?

anybody got any idea? i have no clue....

Try adjusting the sensitivity of the alarm via the shock sensor. It is located over the right rear wheelhouse near the spare tire in the hatch area. To adjust, remove the label covering the adjustment knob and adjust as desired. Turn to the right (clockwise) to increase sensitivity and turn to the left (counterclockwise) to decrease sensitivity.

thought about that, but its weird though...
i havent adjusted the sensitivity since ive owned the car and it has just now started this. started about a week ago....

Well, I'd say its worth a shot. Other then that I really don't know.

Yeah, it's the shock sensor gone bad. Has it rained a lot or have you cleaned your fenderwell? On ls1tech.com there are tons of posts about this problem. Whenever you clean the fenderwell or if it rains a lot this is a common problem. It happened to me last year. I unplugged the shock sensor and it worked fine, then when the weather dried up I plugged it back in and it has been fine ever since. Give that a shot...and when you unplug it, see if it's moist in that area.
