ok well i have a black widow alarm in my car, i have the remote that notifies you of the car alarm going off if its tampered with. anyways. sometimes when i deactivate my alarm and get into my car, and start it, it chirps 3 times or sometimes 2. its weird cause when i leave the car for a few hrs to go inside my house, i arm it, no cars would drive by or nothing that'll cause the alarm to chirp 3 times for a warning, then i go out and start my car and like i said it'll chirp 3 times. but this only happens occasionally.

what does the 3rd chirp indicate?

3 chirps means the car is warning the intruder, meaning he bumped the car just enough to warn it, but not have the actual alarm go off!

Is the system within 1 year old ? If so, try to get some warranty for a new CPU & remote. This will probably solve the problem.

What type of vehicle is in? The third chirp on a BW indicates an open zone. You could have bad door trigger or an improperly adjusted pin switch.

If your alarm chirps after it's deactivated and the car is running, you have a bad connection with your ignition wire. If you used T-taps, they may have come loose. T-taps should be banned.

I agree with raydawg357 check if your door pin switches are working right and did you use t-taps or how did you connect your wires of the alarm. did you solder them?

what you could do is take it back to the shop you had the unit installed and fix the problem. The door triggers on these vehicles need to be diode isolated either at the body control module or the pinsswithches itself.
