car alarm randomly goes off around 5am to 6am every morning

[Melt]

what the hell is causing this? My old car used to do in the early evening and they later determined it was a faulty shock sensor and the change in temprature was causing it.

should i call the place that installed it? I got the alarm in july 05

its an audiovox prestige with pager

you sure its not somebody trying to jack your car every morning?

 

[Melt]

yes because it happens every morning at about the same time and everytime i run out there theres nobody anywhere

i learned my lesson in march when i didnt go out there and in the morning the damn window was broke and stereo gone.

 

[EG-Owns you]

ya could be a faulty sensor man get that s**t check out

 

[xenoicity]

whatever u do, do not get annoyed and just leave ur car alarm off.....

maybe its theives that are scoping out ur car, so they set off ur motion sensor everyday. you get annoyed that its going off every morning, u leave ur alarm off until u get a chance to go to the shop. and on that day when ur alarm is off.. they jack it....

if my pager goes off ever, i come running outside with my mag light and my f**king baseball bat.

oh and best way to find out whats really happening is to camp out by your window to see whats setting it off.....

thats a good idea, every single morning is more than a coincedince but maybe a cat or something. But it really sounds like a bad sensor.

This really doesnt sound like your problem but once my alarm kept going off at night everynight and i found out it was the battery. I guess the cold weather made the battery's voltage drop and after a certain point the alarm would just come on.

God I remember those nights, 2 am and my alarm is blazing, my dad wakes me up, cause hes a light sleeper, and its nothing, f**king NOTHING! Happened once a week or so, lol. Good times.

It's either a bad battery or a bad install. If you have had your alarm on the car for a while check the battery. The alarm will go off when the batterys voltage starts to get too low

how can i check the battery?

I got the car in june 05 and it has an exide ... not sure how long its been in there.

The alarm has been on it since august 05 and never a problem like this.

If you got it done professionally, i'm sure they will warrant that s**t, so there is not harm in just getting it checked

hahaha the made me chuckle

yea its professional, but the place that installed it is 70 miles away, so its kind of a PITA to get it checked.

what voltage should i look for on the meter for the battery?

 

[Melt]

batt is 12.58 volts. Parents cars all test lower so i dont think thats it.

ok went to the place, he messed with my shock sensor and i think turned dow nthe sensetivity, said its working fine, he thinks it might be some sort of radio freqency setting it off, anyways he said if it happens again to check the blinks on the light and call him. Sucks that i drove all the way to sac for that.

 

[ImportFan1]

atleast you got it checked and think you figured out what the prob is.

 

[aaren99]

just make sure he didnt turn your sensitivity down all the way, he may have been looking for a quick fix.

 

[Melt]

nah cause after he set it he tapped the car to see what makes it go off and it still goes off.

 

[Melt]

ok its still happening! Checked the led and it says the shock sensor .... i guess ill call em again when the place is open

Maybe its the morning cat goin the same route every morning to get some grub, and happens to jump on your car to chill and eat lol... jk
