Default Alarm and center console

My Alarm goes off after locking. I've read through the numerous previous posts here on the subject, and I have both a new radio and a new center console. Double-checking the ground on the radio makes sense. However, how is the center console status checked? When I replaced my console the only wire I connected is for the light bulb for the ashtray. Is there a way to disable the alarm remove a fuse or something else?

Why disable the entire security/immobilizer system? Why not fix it? There is a microswitch on the console latch mechanism.

I consider the removal of something that's unnecessary fixing.

You''ll be disabling the sensing of closure of the Frunk, Engine lid, and doors just to avoid fixing the radio ground and center console wire?

yes, well maybe if it can be done.. Again removing the alarm is fixing the problem. No alarm module = no alarm sound.


Here is something that will really blow your mind....For the past 3 months, I haven't locked it.

Cut the wires in the frunk to the alarm horn. Problem solved.

I purposely disconnected the connector to the microswitch in the center console.
I prefer the beep to just flashing lights when arming my alarm.

So if it's disconnected it won't trigger the alarm? If that's the case then it's my radio.
