SOURCE: Problem just started with alarm, it's been fine

If it is a after market alarm you can have it put in passive mode to stop it from going off and disengage the engine kill switch system.

Most commonly if this is a bad receiver, when receiver start going bad they will work and not worked intermittently. The most you can do at this point is try to reprogram the system and see if it begins to work properly again otherwise it's gonna be time to replace the receiver. Part of the receiver is working, see the receiver receives your signal but then it must perform an action and it's the action part of the receiver that has the problem.

If the reprogramming must be done at the dealer with a factory scanner, unfortunately the other scanners available will not do this.

Keep in mind that the best place to possibly get a replacement key fob would be from the dealership. They will be able to sell you the fob and program it to your vehicle for you as well. Also if you need any extra keys you can get them there as well.

Hope this helps. Keep us updated.

one thing you can do that usually works if you don't have the money for the key fob right now is lock all the doors and then unlock the hatch with the key and then unlock the drivers door with the key. that should disarm it and you should be able to start it.

I assume the factory alarm was somehow bypassed when they installed the remote start is there a way I can make the factory alarm work when the doors are opened without key,?

To arm content theft alarm.
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or
the remote keyless entry transmitter. The
SECURITY light should flash.
3. Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go off
after approximately 30 seconds. The alarm is not
armed until the SECURITY light goes off.

If a locked door is opened without the key or the remote keyless entry transmitter, the alarm will go off. The headlamps and parking lamps will flash for two minutes, and the horn will sound for 30 seconds, then will turn off to save the battery power.

Sounds like your auto locking/alarm system is out of sync with the buttons on your key fob. You will need to reset it so the fob buttons match what they should do. You will need to go to the alarm system manufacturer for directions on how to do that.

How to turn off the pro alarm

I would start by replacing the FOB. Sounds to like the electronics inside it are bad. The only reason the horns would go off is if you hit the panic button. There is a slight chance the receiver is bad. But Fobs are cheaper to replace than the receivers. If you have two FOBs and they both react the same, then replace the receiver. Or just ditch the system. The keys (in the door locks) should still activate the alarm system.

you may have a bad door switch, theres a switch on the drivers door lock, when door is unlocked with fob or key the switch is activeated to shut alarm down,the lock moves to hit switch with key or fob,so if the switch is bad it will not shut down alarm, i would start there,door panel has to be remove,then latch has to be remove to get to switch, then test with a meter see if it opens and closes the connection, hope this helps.
