Deserion

Despite my attempts to rectify random alarm activations, I'm at an impasse on determining where to go next.

Last week I drove it to work, and the alarm LED blinked in the normal, single fashion. About 45 minutes later I'm notified by security that the alarm is going off. Fun. As the glovebox light switch was working intermittently I thought that may be a culprit, but it also went off today at lunch even though the glovebox harness is on my workbench. I am replacing the glovebox contact switch with the newer twin-pole type (versus the doorjamb style in there currently).

When I had the radio out I couldn't locate the green wire for that portion of the alarm - perhaps it's cut somewhere inside the dash? I have a feeling I may need to open things up more to investigate.

I scanned the system with the Durametric, with both engine off and on. It returns a nice laundry list of issues. The interior lights were off (doors closed), trunk and engine lid closed.

Would this necessarily require borrowing/renting a 9288/Hammer to diagnose? Or is it potentially indicative of a module fault? If the latter I can ship it off to Tore along with a 987 amplifier I need repaired.


Trying to dig through threads and various forums to get even a sliver of information to grasp on has been frustrating. I'll keep looking, however.

Thanks!
