alarm help
Own an 01 coupe with 49K miles. Alarm went off without any mischief. Cancelled alarm with key. Reset alarm with fob. Alarm sounds again later in the day. Alarm will sound if I set with fob but doesn't seem to do this if I set with key in lock. Replaced car battery about 4 months ago. Anyone seen this before.

Locking the door with the key wont arm the alarm. Or at least mine wont(I just tried it). And as far as I know the only thing that will set off the alarm is if the door is opened while the alarm is set, without the fob or the key opening it(reaching through the window and unlocking it then opening the door). Just a wild guess but do you have to slam your door to get it to close? Maybe its a problem with your door either not closing or the door ajar switch isn't working properly. Hopefully that helps.
