alarm going off on 05 Explorer

[zekedogg]

The alarm keeps going off by it's self on my Explorer. I can turn it off with the remote and it will shut down by it's self after a few minutes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum!

Do your interior lights work correctly with your door, or do they act goofy as well? You might have a problem with a stuck door pin switch, and the alarm may think the door is open when it is not, setting off the alarm. There have been a fair number of posts on the door pin switches, try searching the forum to see if others have had similar experiences.

I had an 01 mountaineer with the same issue. Posted on here as a matter of fact and someone suggested the car battery. Just under a week later went to start my truck and it wouldnt turn over. Got it jumped went to autozone and had the battery tested and it was no good. Bought a new one (not at autozone) and didnt have a problem after that. It's got something to do with the voltage of the battery fluctuating and setting off the alarm.
