Unhappy car alarm keeps going off

it started about a week ago. it would go off randomly but i could turn it off by unlocking and locking it. now yesterday it went off for about 10 minutes and wouldnt shut off. my local chrysler dealership told me it could be the battery. so they replaced it. and today it did the same thing>? im taking it back tomorrow morning, but does anyone have any gusses as to whats going on? they really dont know. the computer read a "low voltage" and "high voltage" code but the seperate alarm computer didnt read anything at all.

I use to have this problem, then I checked the battery fill ports and noticed they were low on electrolyte. Its been a year now and my stock o4 battery is still going strong with out any alarm issues anymore. it also helps if you drive the car every day so the battery stays charged.

Angry Re: car alarm keeps going off

so it turns out its a computer problem. i forget exactly which one...maybe the central locking computer or something along those lines. on top of the 160 i already spent for the battery i have to spend another 600 for the computer that there ordering monday and another 350 for the labor. u think with a car that originally cost 35,500 and was made in 04 it would last a little longer. now i have to use some of the money i got from my insurance co when it got keyed to fix this bullsh*t problem. i love my xfire but shes been treating me worse than my ex girlfriend lately...thats pretty bad.
