ok so I am not sure if I posted this on this site, I know I did on one of the other sites about a year ago. Anyways I have 2 alarms in my car, the factory and an aftermarket clifford(2 years ago top of the line) was in the car before I bought it.
So the aftermarkt alarm is junk, goes off all the time for no reason, the keypad buttons are way to sensative so if your in the store and something happens to even brush up against it, your whole car will unlock and the trunk will open up. whats the point of a alarm(especially 1 that cost $1,000 new) if the alarm itself lets people into your car. anyways my whole point is this alarm is a pos.
Heres my problem; my whole goal since I bought the car was to take out that alarm and keep the factory 1. but the factory alarm wasn't working. I would arm the factory system and open the door and nothing would happen. no alarm, no nothing. so I took the alarm module from my 93 which I knew worked and still nothing. so I just stopped troubleshooting this cause I was getting so pissed at it.
Now all of a sudden yesturday I locked the doors with the aftermarket alarm keypad when I went in the store. came out and unlocked the doors and opened the passanger door and the alarm goes off.. so I'm sitting there hitting the clifford keypad and it wouldn't shut off.. took me about 2 minutes with an alarm screaming in my ears to realize that it wasn't the clifford alarm thats going off... it was the factory alarm after over a year of not working.. wtf?? so when I got home I got the factory keypad from my room and started locking and unlocking the doors and i'd open the door and there would be like a 10-30 second delay before the alarm went off(not like in my 93 where it would go off right away) even if I used the keypad on the door to lock the doors the factory alarm would go off which again I have done hundreds of times before since I owned the car and this never happened. can someone please tell me what the hell is going on with this alarm?
on a side note I paid 6,500 for this car from pete D, a member of the old mark boards, I don't know what he did to this car but this car wasn't even worth half of that with all the problems it had. I probally put well over 6,500 into this car in less than a year on just crap that broke.
