Scenario:
The alarm is turned on (with FOB) and the alarm activates, for NO reason, within 1 to 3 minutes. This has been going on for [about] 2 years. No modifications to the vehicle & no wrecks or bumps. It often happens in busy areas (shopping mall parking lots, doctor office, etc.). I'll hear the alarm 'honking' from within the building I'm in - go outside & reset the alarm - 1 to 3 minutes later it goes off again. Go BACK OUTSIDE, reset it, and it goes off again after a few minutes. VERY ANNOYING !!!!
Sometimes, I'll park it at home and it will go off an hour or so after it's been sitting idle & undisturbed. At first, I questioned whether others FOB's 'may' be setting it off. But kind of discounted that thought after happening so frequently.
Someone suggested I lock & unlock the drivers door several times and the problem would 'go away'. That didn't work. The Chrysler dealer here has a nasty reputation of ripping people off. I believe if I went to the dealer, they would suggest I needed 4 new wheels, replace the passenger seat, put in a new motor, install a second transmission, and purchase 68 boxes of girl scout cookies from the managers young daughter - doing so would 'perhaps' resolve the problem.
Any advice would be MOST appreciated. I love the T&C - if it were not for that damned alarm I'd be a happy camper :-)
Thanks for any practical input ...
