False alarm in the early morning
Hi,
This morning I was woked up by a false alarm from my 2000 Honda Accord EX. It was parked outside my appartment. Not sure what happened exactly. I used my remote to unlock the door and shut off the alarm. Now it looks normal. This is the first time it happened. Anybody has similiar experience? What are general causes? Thanks for attention. |

It is on and off several times this morning and I had to leave the door unlocked. Going to take to dealer tomorrow and see what is the problem. Just check it going to cost 90 bucks. |

False alarm in the early morning
Thanks Matt, One naive question, where is the door pin? My driver-door
was damaged two years ago and replaced by bodyshop. Maybe this is the source of the problem. The dealer was unable to locate the problem since the alarm didn't sound at that time.
