I installed my alarm today. I'm now having a problem, after arming the system everything looks good, but 15 min or so later the alarm goes off.

It's giving me a code 3 which is door opened, but they are shut tight and locked. I don't know what is going on

I tied the wire from the alarm looking for - voltage to both the yellow/black and gray/red wires at the GEM module..

Any clues?

P.S. The alarm works fine if I open the doors

Alarms will go off if it sense's a change in voltage (shorting attempt), so IMO it's either a) your battery likes to send a spike in juice every once in awhile, or your wiring is faulty / shorting on something.


My first alarm did the same thing to me.. so I replaced my battery wiring / used a higher gauge all around, and it stopped doing that..for the most part

I did buy some relays from there to hook up the door locks

The alarm is working fine now and the best thing about it is it has a flashing blue LED instead of a red one...It matches my car [sm=smiley20.gif]
