look at your switches. pull the centers out and set them. if this doesn't work you could have a bad switch. oh you can use a paperclip to pull the center out.

I took to car to the shop at the dealership I work at-me and the shop super checked it-when you hold the door switch in the lights flicker on and off-so it looks like a bad switch-since my neighbors are ready to kill me bec the alarm keeps gping off i just unhooked the battery and left it there until monday when i can get a new one-thanks

I had the same problem and found that the door switch (located on the door frame) was broken - it was pushed into the door frame. Easy to repair yourself

Your switch is probably fine. Take a close look at it and you will see a small cicular piece in the center of it. Pry that out gently with a jewelers screwdriver and slam your door shut. Should fix your problem. This is the adjustment pin. Sometimes they get out of whack. Dont go through the heassle of replacing the switch until you try this trick..
