10 chirps while arming?

How long has it been in the car? Can you get it back to the installer....just to ask questions.

If you did it yourself, do you have the install guide? and user manual.

In the manual it should tell you what the chirps mean. Would mostly be the back of the install one.

It doesn't, I have reead both manuals 20 times.

have you had your battery replaced? The reason I ask is because their might have been some settings (like domelight delay bypass for instance) that might have been programed and since the battery is replaced, everything would be back to default. My alarm needs to be programmed to allow my domelight delay. If I dont have that programed, then when I arm my car, I have 2 chirps followed by another 4.

I had the battery disconnected when i was installing my power wire for an amp.  I'll go back through the programming and see if I can figure it out.  Thanks!!

your manual should have a programming section. In that section it will tell you how to program some features the alarm has. It will also give a chart of which features are default and which features can be changed and to what there after. Quick question. When you close your door, does your interior domelight stay lit for a short time afterwards or does it go out right as soon as the door closes? If the domelight stays lit for a short time after the door has been closed, do alittle test. First close your door BUT wait till your domelight turns off before arming your car. If the alarm doesnt chirp 10 times, than you found the problem.

My dome light shuts off as soon as the door is closed. I even turned it off to check this.  I am going to check the programming tonight and see if there is anything in there.

Does your alarm have any sensors/ Most alarms come with atleast a shock sensor. Disconnect each sensor (if its not hard to do) and see if the chirps still happen.

I disconnected the shock sensor, still chirped 10 times.  I also checked the hood pin and the dome light connections.  So far, eveything seems to be correct.  Now my remote start doesn't work either.  I am wondering if the connection to the parking brake has come loose.  Without this, the alarm thinks the parking brake isn't set.

That parking brake wire wont prevent your vehicle from remote starting. Thats just to disengage your RS. If the car wont remote start at all, its your hood pin switch. If its trying to crank, then its not your hood pin. If your hood pin is being grounded at all, your car wont RS. Check to make sure all your doors and trunk are closed. I know with my alarm, if i leave the trunk open and arm it, I will have more chirps letting me know something is opened. Another thing is to check all your connections.

Well, I opened my hood, and pushed the hood pin down. Then I set the alarm, it chirped 10 times. I waited about 45 seconds and released the hood pin and my alarm went off.  So this tells me that the hood pin is working properly.  I also did this with the doors and trunk. I also unplugged the shock sensor, and it still chirped 10 times.   I'm stumped, not sure what my alarm is thinking.

Would installing different seats affect anything?  I had to wire the new seats in because they are electric and heated.  I used the wires already run to the seat area for power and ground, but I did have to splice into the driver side door switch.  Would this do anything wierd?

door switch as in door trigger?

ok alittle confused.  You said you spliced only into driver side door trigger, correct? Youll need to use atleast 2 diodes there.

Then you said you used the white black wire for the domelight trigger?

Please explane alittle better.  sorry

Yes, I spliced into this wire were all the wiring run along the driver side of the car. 

In the '94 Accord, each switch is diode isolated from the other. If you tie into one of them, only that door will trip the alarm. The wire you need to tie into is the BLK/WHT wire that goes from the dome light to the safety indicator in the dash. Tying into this wire will ensure that opening any door will trip the alarm.

Well it depends on when that wire is gettting the negative current through it. If there is negative through it during the times you arm your alarm, then thats your problem. Eventhough your door is closed, that negative wire from the seat is still sending current through that trigger wire. See when your door is opened, the switch pops out causing it to be grounded. That ground goes to wherever it has to go to trigger your domelight to come on. That in turn would set your alarm off. But in this case, since your door isnt opened the switch cant pop out and your dome light wont turn on BUT you are still getting negative current through that door trigger (since there are no diodes being used for the seats) thus causing your alarm to "think" a door is opened. Now there are some tests you can try. First leave your door opened, or leave your domelight on and arm it. If your alarm still chirps 10 times, then disconnect your trigger wire that you have spliced into your domelight. If it still chirps, than you know its not your seats. If it stops, then you need to put in some diodes.
