Ok, I have a bizarre problem w/ my Clifford Arrow 3 Alarm system.  Heres the deal, when the car is driven on short trips w/ alot of electrical accessories on, the alarm will false 5 minutes after arming the system. It will only do it this one time, and not again untill it is driven again on a short trip, etc.  Every time it falses, the LED gives me a code 2 meaning that the piezo sensor set off the alarm, or so it thinks.  I had the piezo sensor removed, and it still falsed.  I had the brain replaced and it still falsed.  I replaced my cars battery and it still falses.  I dont know if its in the wiring, or what. The install was done by professional clifford install techs, and from what i have seen, it looks very clean.  The car the alarm is in is a 1997 Acura Integra GSR coupe. The sensors include; piezo(shock), Glass tamper, and Digital Tilt/Motion.  I dont know if a device on the car is sending out a "pulse", or if there is a static charge buildup, or what.  The guys who installed it have no ideas. Help me please. Im on the verge of busting out my old baseball bat and "fixing" my alarm the old fashioned way.

How's your alternator ? Is the battery being charged properly and all the time or just at certain times it's charging properly. Make sure of this as the system may not be getting enough charge and falsing that there isn't enough power after shutdown of the car. ( shot in the dark )

You said  that you have a Piezo(shock) sensor and a glass sensor connected to the same system. Have you replaced the glass sensor? if not, then most likely the glass sensor is causing the problem because these two sensors are connected in parallel to each other. You should try completely removing the glass sensor and leave just the piezo sensor working.

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
