HELP! First day of Spring and alarm won't STFU!!
...sigh... I love my 1989 964C4 but the alarm has always caused me grief. Last year a relay came loose and it decided it needed two keys to operate (one in the door and one in the ignition). And now, after winter hibernation, I charged up the battery to give her the first test drive of the new year and the god d@mned alarm goes off constantly. The doors are unlocked and closed. I tried using two kets. I tried unlocking and relocking the doors again and again (but the power door lock mechanism dosn't work) and all it does is BEEP BEEP BEEP...it is driving me CRAZY. I have to keep the battery disconnected to stop the thing from beeping and needless to say this makes fast driving problematic. What can I do? I am at my wits end. At this point I'll gladly pay the dealer $100 per hour to fix it if I could only get the GD POS to the dealer in the first place. Aaaarghhhh!!!!

Weeee!! With the (discreet) help of the Pelican BBS I was able to bypass the alarm and get the car to finally shut up. So now I can at least drive the car without fear and get her to a mechanic or dealership without using a flat bed. This is pretty much the 1 billionth time you folks have saved my sorry butt.
And after doing some googling, I am finding that the alarm module under the seat is a common weak point in our cars. Apparently, it is a great place for water to collect and this wreaks havoc on the central locking mechanism as well as the alarm. So I'm gonna crack it open and look for obvious signs of corrosion before blowing the big bucks at the dealership. Can't hurt, right?

Famous last words: What can possibly go wrong?
