Buick lesabre 97 car alarm goes off for no reason why?

I lock my car with the remote about 20mins to a few hours later the car alarm goes off for no reason. I know it has something do with the trunk because I did a false positive test and jiggled a few wires around in the trunk and the alarm instantly goes off. Please help it is becoming an annoyance at work and school and home.

Most likely, you have a vacuum leak if steam is coming from your defrost vent in a 1997 Buick LeSabre. There are approximately 600 million passenger cars worldwide (roughly one car per eleven people). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOURCE: 1995 Buick Lesabre: security blinks and car will not start

If the starter is turning the engine, try re-setting the security system (leave key on till light stops blinking.) If the starter does not turn, you may have some success in re-setting system, if not you need to check battery voltage and voltages in starter system till you find the problem...can be something as simple as a bad connection at the battery. If you need help with further testing, just ask.

SOURCE: Alarm system sounds off for no reason ('97 Lesabre Limited)

I had the same problem. The alarm system on my 1997 Le Sabre self-actuates. Luckily, it went off once when I popped the trunk. I went to Auto Zone and bought a generic trunk replacement lock. I noticed the original lock had a funky push-pull type of switch used to activate the alarm. This switch was likely hair-line on/off and when the temperature changed, it activated.

I went ahead and replaced the lock without the switch, but you can try simply unplugging the switch through the hole in the metal behind the lock to see if that might stop the alarm from arming itself (or cut the wire).

Good luck, it's a "hairy" problem.

Ignition and key problems...

You have to use the lock cylinder and key from the original column, the keys have a small piece or resistive wire that the sensor in the column reads and if the wrong resistance value is read then the starter or fuel pump are locked out, your car came with a factory security system so don't know why another was added, but the reason above is the problem.

My 1987 Buick Park Avenue alarm goes off for no apparent reason. Up until last night the security alarm was okay. It went off while we were away from home (we found out later). We had just got back home...

Same here. What I do is lock all doors using the button on the driver's door before opening the door, then open the driver's door and lock it manually. That seems to keep it disarmed. I believe it has to be the driver's door for this to work, but I don't know for sure.
