thanx for the info my town car will be looked at by my best mechanic on june 8th mine is a cartier edition with 170000 miles it is a great car other than the alarm problem not quite as clean as yours but close i will try to replace the switch on passenger side of hood first then in the meantime i will try to keep alarm from arming by manually unlocking and then locking all doors and locking the passenger front door with the original key so far it has not gone off for two days now since i did this but i think that switch under hood is bad and not sure about switch for electric trunk is working right the original owner had work done on it and ordered new parts but looking throgh his records i guess they were not installed because they thought they fixed trunk without the new parts i know the alarm is hooked to all doors hood and trunk and ignition ill let you know thanx scotty
