Can't lock my Car - Alarm goes off.

Sooooo, I was doing an interior swap today. Stripped all the way down the carpet. I'm Still not finished, but decided to wrap things up till tomorrow. I got the carpet and the front seats back in, locked the car and moments later the alarm went off ????? wth ?

unlocked, locked. moments later, the warning beeps came on and then the alarm. Did it once more, unlock, locked , moment later, alarm goes off.

Can't think of why its doing this. Did I unplug a sensor somewhere ? Where is the alarm located anyhow ?

I'm sleeping tonight with the car unlocked, so if you want free interior bits , come get some.

(sorry, gps and epass is sleeping with me !)

EDIT: i guess I can manually lock my car with key. Also I did noticed that when the car is locked and armed the security light flashes very quickly.

Looks like something is unplugged. Retrace your steps

do your interior lights come on/off with the doors being open/closed - that's the first thing the alarm checks for... start with the simple things and work your way back just as No DRFT said.

Do you have the shock sensor add-on?

Door lights do turn off.

The only sensors I removed were from the seats. I finished up everything today but, it still wants to panic. It's almost as if the sensitivity is delicate cuase you do have to wait a minute for it to go off. Could it be something that needs to be adjusted ?

Not sure about the shock sensor add-on

Another person having this issue recently had a bad shock sensor.

Does these year/model have a reset button for the alarm?

I know my '98 lgt did and it was right under the dash

Sounds like your 98 LGT had an aftermarket alarm. I've never heard of that on any Subaru alarm.

No it was factory. I've also seen one on an 2nd Gen. Outback too.

So where is the shock sensor located ?

Found it. it was a black box sensor ( shock ?) under the pass seat. forgot to connect it.

It's the stupid little things
