A FGT posessed!

[BlackICE]

My unlocked FGT parked in the garage connected to a Battery Tender, with no one around the car, suddenly for no reason the cars alarm decided to go active, horns blaring! I tried the key remote, no response to unlock or lock buttons. I disconnected the battery and reconnected it to turn the alarm off. All is well after that.

Weird!!!

Do you know where BOTH key fobs are?

I have 3, but the others are in some draw somewhere and only my son and I were in the house, neither of us were near a key. Also doesn't explain why when I got the key I couldn't turn it off.

My guess - lost ground at the chassis

Also doesn't explain why...I couldn't turn it off.

Operator malfunction would be my guess... :tongue

Might the vehicle's diagnostics sys show a code for what caused it to go into alarm (like which sensor may have triggered it, or whatever)??? :shrug

Sounds like you got a small taste of what happened to Mr. Clarkson at Top Gear when he got his FGT, except his kept doing it.

Low battery on your key fob?

I think that is a good guess. When working on my car with a ground line disconnected, the wipers randomly began operating with the stalk in the off position.
