Factory Alarm ????
This is getting really annoying, when I unlock door and open it the alarm goes off, I dont know how to disable it so I just popped the hood and disconnected the battery and reconnected it. Any idea how I can unlock the door without it going off, how to disable it
Also I dont have a keyless entry fob at the moment, I bought one on ebay and it will be here sometime this week.

Did you unlock with the manual lock from the inside, or with the key from the outside? The only way to keep from setting it off under normal circumstances is to use the key, the POWER unlock button, or the fob.
If you use the key in the outside of the door, and it still sounds, you do have a problem. Does it do the same thing from both the driver'* side and passenger side?

I notice this happens with mine, but ONLY when all the doors don't unlock with the key, i.e. all my doors unlock when I unlock the driver'* door with the key. And you can hear a "click" when I unlock the door. But recently, sometimes that "click" doesn't happen, and if I open the driver door, the alarm goes off. I have to turn the key really quick for it to click, or sometimes I wait a second or two and it will click, then I can open the door without the alarm going off. I hope that made sense, but I wonder if this is what yours is doing.

Yes, the unlock signal has to get back to the RAC module to disable the alarm. That signal comes from the switch in the door lock cylinder. When you turn the key to "unlock" and the signal doesn't make it back to disable the alarm, your power locks are not going to work either.
Does this make sense?
