Question

My alarm has started to go off a few minutes after I set it (no one breaking in). Just started doing this on my 2001 Isuzu Rodeo Sport 2WD V6. Can I disconnect it or is there something I need to replace?

Hi my name is Dan and I will be assisting you with your question/problem. Is this factory alarm or is it aftermarket?

factory alarm. Just started going off by itself fairly often now. If I lock the car with the remote or the lock on the side door it doesn't matter - I don't even have to set the alarm, just lock the doors.

Accepted Answer

Hi there,

 

Alarms triggering points are door, hood and trunk switches. If you have door ajar indicator flashing while driving, then one of the door could be out of alignment causing the door switch to have intermittent contact even though the door is closed.

 

If none of the door ajar lights are flashing, check the hood switch. Try unplugging it and test if alarms self triggers.

I don't know where the hood switch is or how to unplug it? I opened the hood and found what looks like a small speaker with wires next to it but couldn't unplug anything.

That should be the siren not the hood switch. I do not have a diagram to show you. Look along the front upper panel for a push buttnon type switch and that shold be the hood switch.
