Default C5 alarm system............

With the alarm system activated on a 99 FRC, should the horn go off if you pull on the door handle?
It does on my Caddy, just wondered why the Vette didn't...........

TIA

I'll take a guess here.. The Cadi has a switch in there that when you pull it, it illuminates the inside of the car before you get in. The Corvette has no such need therefore no switch, but, unlocking with the FOB, will turn on the inside lights.

There's no harm in a thief checking to see if you left your door unlocked.
