Default New member here from southern ontario

Hey everybody, my names john and im from north of barrie. I love my "new" 2004 crossfire, its my baby. I wanted to use this opportunity to ask you all a question though, my alarm keeps going off for no reason. It goes off just sitting in the driveway, and it even goes off sometimes while im driving it. Any ideas on the issue im facing here?

Welcome to the forum. Have your battery checked... these cars do weird things when the battery is not so good.

Welcome to the forum, drop by the Canada forum and see what we have been doing and maybe you can join us at a GTG some time.
I have to ask you, did you steal the car?
The alarm issue has been a problem to some people. If the car has the OEM battery (a white Varta) it is time it was replaced as it causes things to go a bit spooky when the power drops in it. Also, the siren module can go wrong and it will go off randomly.
Do a search on 'alarm' and you will see the various threads on it and maybe your symptoms are mentioned, if they are you are halfway there in solving the problem.

When a person asks for some help it is nice to know if the suggestions were of any help, that way we all learn.
So?
