The factory alarm keeps going off on my truck at nite

[HomeAppraiser]

2003 Tacoma PreRunner Xtra Cab SR5, with power everything, Factory keyless entry and alarm.

It has been really hot. Could a sensor or something be contracting when it cools at night causing false alarms?

Does it have a window breakage sensor? I had a stock alarm on an older accord that had a microphone tuned to the sound of windows breaking. It would go off all the time, and that was the culprit.

Take it in anyway, they might fix it for free.

Which reminds me. TURN OFF YOUR FRIGGING CAR ALARM ON THE FOURTH OF JULY.


<---still pissed at idiot who had his alarm going the entire night when he parked his van 150 feet from where they were launched.

Someones casing your truck. They set it off a few times at night over a week or 2 and when your neighbors get pissed you give up and turn the alarm off. Then when they come to set it off they find the alarm disabled.

SCORE!

It is a PASSIVE alarm that automatically arms when you lock the door.

You think all criminals know this?

There are nicer cars on my street. I think it is a heat/cooling problem.
