The old '94 was left alone to it's own devices for a few days, and when I finally gave it some attention, the battery was dead. Completely. Oh well, it's 6 years old on a 60 month battery. I had a new 72 month Interstate installed and *thought* all was well.

Until yesterday. My wife was home and said the alarm kept going off. Huh. All doors were latched tight as was the hood and trunk. Yesterday evening while watering the plants, she noticed the lights were flashing, but no horn alarm.

So I looked at it, and the led on top of the dash is showing solid red, all the time. Locked, unlocked, running, it's on. ???? So today she went out and left the car unlocked (at my direction), and came back, and the lights were flashing again. Hmmmmmm.

Again, I checked the doors, hood, and trunk, all was well. So I walked off, and the horn and lights went off. ????? I unplugged the alarm horn so as not to piss of the neighbors, left the car unlocked, and the lights started flashing again.

I'm starting to think the alarm killed the battery, since it was fine until left un-driven for a few days.

So what's going on? How do you troubleshoot this alarm system, or completely disable it?
