I have an 87 C4 . The other day after a drive I pulled in the driveway and when I went to turn the car off the alarm went off . I don't have a key fob . I had a hard time getting it to stop . I turned the key on , off , on , nothing . I opened the door , closed the door , locked the door , unlocked the door . EVERYTHING . Finally it stopped , don't know why . A few days later I tried to start the car and it was totally dead . I noticed a faint outline of the digital dash . I don't recall if that's normal . I plan to disconnect the battery and then see if it's charged , and try over .
Any suggestions

Key fobs have nothing to do with alarms and your car didn't come with one anyway.
Alarm should go off when the locked car door is unlocked with the key
I put another battery in today and started the car a few times throughout the day . I went out tonight and noticed the interior door light on . I must have hit it while trying intensely to get the alarm off . Thus problem solved . Thanks for the responses .
