2003 Civic LX 221111 miles (original owner)

Has had an aftermarket alarm on it since 2005. Everything's worked fine until this past week when it was parked the alarm went off. I used the remote, reset it and it went off again a few minutes later. Figured maybe the battery was going dead since it had been sitting for a week, so I ran the car for a few minutes to charge up the battery. Shut it off, went inside, the alarm went off again.

Locked it with key.

Car didn't move for 5 days, went to get something out of car and found doors unlocked.

Drove it to work today, armed it. Co-workers told me the alarm was going off. I go outside, the alarm has ceased on its own. Disarm the alarm with the remote, lock the door with the key.

Come out for lunch and as I near the car, I hear the power door locks operate and unlock the car. (Keys were in my hand, I was not pushing the alarm remote).

Car stayed locked during my 10 minute lunch trip into Walmart.

Came back to office, locked the car with the key, alarm not armed.

Go back outside 1-2 hours later, the car is unlocked again.

It's all four doors, not just the driver's side.

So, what I can figure, something is triggering the doors to unlock, which in turns sets off the alarm.

Anyone have anything similar happen?

The doors won't lock themselves if you don't use the button on the keys, if the door is open.

It's unlocking itself when the keys are 20 miles away! I lock the door with they key (the remote is not factory, it's the aftermarket alarm) and when we get back the car is unlocked).

When the remote is used to unlock the doors (even if the doors are locked with a key) the alarm makes a "disarm" sound. This is not happening. It just unlocks with no alarm sound.

Is there an easy way to disconnect/disable the alarm as a test ??
