well I today I installed my alarm ( concordia auto ) I got it from a group purchase on jbody.org well anyways, its the remote start one, but I didnt install the remote start components untill I get my bypass. But my problem is...the alarm works, it arms and disarms, locks the doors, arm goes off if door is open and it is shook. but the REAL problem is that once it sits for like 3 minutes, the alarms just goes off by its self. at first I thought it was the shock sensor, so I turned it all the way down, and that wasnt it! So what can it be?

thank you in adavance

btw I have a 1996 Cavalier Z24 ( factory locks and such )

what did you use for your door triggers? and what happens if you unplug the shock harness and arm it.

sroth140......for now im just running 1 trigger and taht is the door one, just until I get a 1amp diode to diode isolate the passenger side door. and I can honestly say that I never pulled the plug for the shock sensor! so I would know...but do you really think that could be the problem?

that could be the problem, try to diode isolate the dome light.

the reason i sent you the info that i did was so you could double check the hook ups that you did...

Good Luck

also, do you have a book that tells you what zone triggered the alarm....most owners manual will have a page in there about each zone....double check that info and see what it tells you..if you need one let us know, im sure we can find one for you...

Good Luck

are you sure it takes 3 minutes to go off and not less? The reason why I ask is most alarms have a delay time before fully arming. The delay could be 30 seconds, 45 seconds or so. time it and let us know.

Instead of diode isolating your dome light. Try connecting your dome light supervision wire to your door trigger. This will elliminate the dome light delay. It is usually BLACK/ white. You can also connect the other (-) input wire from the alarm (blue) to your passenger door trigger to get around using a diode.

Do it right the first time
