RL post was about the jumper used I think only in certain early models.

Most frequent alarm issues are from buried aftermarket units flaking away.

You may have a faulty switch somewhere. The hood switch goes bad, it's on the passenger side right at the cross-member mount. Your hatch switch may be bad, too. I just disconnected my switch, the connector is right there at the receiver, near the battery ground point.

thanks-could it be the central warning system? the red light on the dash lights up too and the buzzer doesnt stop going off! are these the same or diff. systems? thanks

Does it work properly? Leave a door open with the switch depressed by some tape, lock the car/activate the alarm, and remove the tape. If it works as it should, that should help you narrow down the culprit.

I know yours is a '80 US and mine is a '79 Euro, but I found mine behind the glove box. There was also a switch under the dash on the driver side that I could push in and pull out which I thought was supposed to shut it off but didn't always work. Got fed up and just started pulling out connectors. I wish I could remember which connector I pulled. I guess one day I will go back and see if I can figure it out. Anyway, this may not help at all, but thought I would post my experience.
