I was driving in a really bad rainstorm yesterday and the anti-theft light started flashing. It shut off after about 5 minutes, but ever since it will come on intermittently as I'm going down the road. And sometimes if I lock it with the keyless entry, it'll set the alarm off out of the blue. Fortunately my horn isn't working (the only problem my car has, until yesterday!) so it's not too annoying. Just flashes the lights.
I could understand why it would go off when parked and locked if some water got in a door switch or something, but what could possibly cause it the alarm light to start flashing as I'm going down the road? It'll flash for a minute or two, shut off for 30 seconds or so, then act up again. Should it even be possible for the alarm to go off after the car is running?
Will it start if I just unplug the alarm module? That would be an easy way to solve the problem, and I'm not too concerned about it getting stolen around here.
