2004 Aveo Car Alarm Going Off Randomly

[vistarocker33]

I am the original owner of a 2004 Chevy Aveo LS. I've had many problems (especially electrical problems) with it over the years, and the most recent problem is that the factory car alarm keeps going off at random times for no reason. Can anyone please give some insight as to what might be causing the alarm to go off, and how I could go about fixing it (or at least how to disable the alarm)? Thanks! I am sick of my alarm going off in the middle of the night and in the parking lot at work!

well check all ur doors, fuses, locks, etc...and/or take it to a shop or the dealer.

is an odd thing, but the trunk light is in circuit for trunk switch, and is tied into the factory alarm. check the trunk light for arcing on the frame that it is mounted into, as this can cause alarm to go off. you could just pull it down out of trunk roof, and wrap electrical tape around it and connector to make sure there is no metal to wire/terminal contact. this may not be the problem, but one i saw that ran me for a big loop. when it came into the shop, hooked up the scanner and the alarm history was clear. through further diagnosis found the module was faulty, but after replacement, alarm would still go off. but new module would tell me what was setting off alarm, so went through and found the trunk light would sometimes arc and set it off. sorry for long winded post, but check this out along with the doors and such as mike suggested.

That happened to my car last year that was'nt an aveo. My problem the was the starting battery was marginal and was not holding the voltage due to age. I would check the voltage at lunchtime and before going to bed at night.Also check for parasitic draw if all else fails. Goodluck
