Car Alarm Keeps Going Off 95 Acura Legend

Roger Question: Occasionally the car alarm on my 1995 Honda Acura Legend keeps going off by itself. It’s getting to be rather annoying. What can cause this? And more importantly, how can I fix it?

Answer: Those alarm systems check for electrical loads going on and off (like the door opening which triggers the door switch and makes the alarm howl.) SO, anything causing an electrical drain can make the car alarm go off. First, have your battery checked, because a weak battery can cause it, I see that a LOT. And in those Acuras, it’s rather common for the driver’s side door switch to cause the alarm to go off, as they wear more with time than the other doors. All that opening and closing of the driver’s door can wear the switch so that it turns itself on just enough to trigger the alarm. Good Luck hunting down the culprit.
