Alarm Hell!!

[alarm_07]

I have a 1985 Toyota Supra. Just today alone, my car alarm has gone off all day. The only way for the alarm to even go off is when I open the driver side with my key, don't ask long story. The car is parked outside on the street in front of my house. Nobody is near it at all for it to go off, I don't understand and need ANY advice besides disconnecting it! I am in a desperate situation here, cuz I don't want the neighbors to complain, being that I am going away on vacation soon for a week! HELP!!!!!!

my friend has a 89 and he is having a similar problem.. he bought his from a auction for a grand it had looked like it had been in a little fender bender. he fixed that but for some reason the alarm goes off all the time for no reason what so ever and he dose not know where it is to disconnect it.

My son and I just bought his 89 Supra and the Alarm does the same thing, so far I always go through the passenger side, but would like to fix it so we can access the drivers side without setting off the alarm, we would like to keep the alarm intack just in case my son decides to install other audio equipment. Is there any input on preventing the alarm from going off!!!!

are you turning the key the right way when unlocking the door? cuz on my friends car if you turn the key the wrong way while trying to unlock the door the alarm will go off

I have the same problem in my 86.5 supra, if i unlock the drivers side the alarm goes off, but not from the passenger side. I hardly ever lock my car as a result. This means I have not put money into a stereo cause it would just get stolen =/ If anyone has a solution let me know!

Always remember to disconnect the battery when you are away.

My car alarm has a mind of its own. The security system had me blocked from starting it. Took it to a shop. They grounded that portion of the security system and it starts fine. The problem is now an alarm that goes off at all hours and the only way to stop it is to disconnect the battery cables. This is getting to be a pain in the butt. Took it to another shop to have the whole system bypassed. Another ground and an assurance that the system was off. That night, beep, beep, beep. Nobody seems to know how to get oround this problem. Tired of paying money without results. If anyone has knowledge of this system and how to defeat it I would be eternally grateful for the info.

What I ended up doing was removing the starter connection (the one that just plugs in) and with a wire brush scraped away any corrosion or grim and tried to do the same thing with the side that is on the started. I sprayed some liquid wrench in there and wiped it all off and i haven't had a problem since. Also, I think the alarm computer is somewhere close to the igntion switch... try taking it out? I am not sure if i'm right on that, but it could be worth getting more info on.

Wow, can't believe that someone hasn't come up with a solution for this problem yet. I have the same problem with my 85 and it is getting worse. Cmon, somebody has to have found something that solves this permanently!
