Does not cherp

When I activate my checkmate alarm it does not make any noise. It seems like there is just a factory alarm on my car. The doors lock/unlock and the lights flash like a standard factory alarm, but there is no noise letting me know the alarm is active or un-active. Is there a code I put in by mistake to make the alarm silent if so, can you let me know so I can fix it.

Is your perhaps alarm in "valet mode"? I've got a Checkmate on my Honda, and I can turn valet mode on/off by putting the key to Accessory, then pushing the black button under the left of the steering wheel. The alarm chirps when you switch the mode.

My 2014 Elantra's remote for alarm dosn't cherp or light up when pushing the button on remote to set the alarm. But the doors will lock. why?

The chirp comes from the alarm system itself. it may be a electrical short in the alarm system, or a damage in the alarm itself. u need an alarm shop or a good tech. wish I was there.

My factory alarm keeps going off on my 2005 Dodge Stratus SXT when I open the door with my key. The only way I can turn the alarm off is by unlocking the door from the inside.

I hope you solved your problem and this is a late answer so if it helps anyone then OK good. When the door is open look down on the inside trim where your door meets when it shuts. There is a rubber boot covering an activator switch. Simply remove the screw, pull the module out and unplug it. Whenever you open the door it will not activate the alarm. There is nothing in the door that activates the alarm; only when you open the door.

1998 v6 regular mustang the original factory installed alarm system activates by itself 1-3 times a day for no reason.Once the car key is put into door and opened the alarm will go off. Also, the interior...

this happened to us when we got a new key and had it programmed with the car. anytime we locked the doors and opened them with the key instead of the remote, the alarm would set itself off. we took out the fuse for the alarm.

Bought from dealer with no keyless entry. alarm activates when doors are locked with power doorlock system. alarm sounds when we open the door. how do we de-activate the alarm before unlocking the door?

Opening the drivers door with the key is supposed to shut down the factory security but the drivers key cylinder usually goes bad. You will have to unlock the rear tail gate lock cylinder with the key and that will shut down the factory security, before opening the drivers door.Your other option is to have an aftermarket keyless entry system installed, which will open the doors remotely while shut down the factory security at the same time.
