Help very strange alarm problem
Tonight wh Help very strange alarm problem I press the lock button on the fob the alarm horn started blowing. I cranked it up and drove around the block and noticed that both turn signals are lit. If I turn the signal say to turn left, both flash. When I turned the light off it really get strange, All the inside lights and the driving lights started to strobe. When I turn the light back on they stop. Now again when I try to lock the car, the horn alarm goes off again. Could my LED tail light and the hyper flasher be causing this? Please chime in, I need help. I think it might be a ground but where to start?

Had this exact problem. Car acts possessed.
Ground.
Go to the front passenger ground (behind the pass headlight on the frame rail), grab the bundle of wires screwed to the frame, shake them. Yup, shake them. Also make sure that 10mm nut is tight- don't over tighten, it'll snap the stud off the frame.
I'd say the permanent solution is to take apart the ground blocks (see bill curlee's posts)- but, I have done this 3 times... it still just acts up whenever it wants. You'll also notice one headlight being dim, the high-beam indicator on the HUD but not the dashboard, fog lights won't work, etc.
Anything with a circuit on this car acts up at least once during it's life.
Try it out!
