check key fob for stuck button. unhook battery in car to reset alarm. If it has a battery backup on alarm you may need to unhook it to reset the alarm.

Remove alarm check for proper operation with voltage from battery .
if defective replace, if operating check for other wiring problems such as corroded connectors or broken wires.

First, check if the backup lights come on when in reverse.
If so, you can eliminate the switch.
Next up is a fuse, the unit itself, or a loose/disconnected/broken wire.

Have you checked your backup battery to see if it is dead? Your owners manual will show you where this is located. A bad backup battery can trip your alarm with no warning.

2 possible reasons. 1 is that the alarm is not able to function correctly with voltage that is too low. 2 is that the battery theft part of alarm is being triggered. This alarm is not factory OEM.

These type of alarms used to have a secondary battery that powered the alarm solely (small battery, usually in same housing as alarm). It is possible that the backup battery has failed.

Alternatively, you can have a mechanic or technician wire in a small sealed battery to the alarm that is connected to the main battery through a diode. That way, the backup battery will be charged off alternator, but will not discharge except through the alarm. In any case, even the backup battery will fail eventually and you back to same problem.

try replacing the reverse light bulbs with regular ones. alot of the application have a little speaker built onto the bulb. hope this helps
