I have a 01 Integra with a Automate AM5 Security system and it keeps going off randomly. I want to disarm the security system but I don‘t want to disarm my keyless entry lock/unlock. The manual said something about pressing the lock/unlock button 5 seconds after horns goes off will silence the horn but the system will be in armed state. I tried and it didn‘t work. I can careless about the security system but I want to disarm the security and still able to get in my car with my keyless entry. What should I do?
See a car alarm specialist. Alarms are tricky.
I agree with KenK. A weak battery will set the alarm off, especially in the dead of night when the cold causes the battery voltage to drop even lower and make it seem like a door was opened- that kind of power drop sets off the alarm. If a new battery doesn't correct the problem, then other components are malfunctioning and you really should have the dealer troubleshoot it instead of jacking around and maybe wind up with a car you can't open or will not start.
If it's factory installed, there should be a fuse or relay in the engine compartment power distribution box. It should be near your battery and inside the lid will be a legend telling what each goes to. Just pull the one for the alarm.
You need to go out and buy a cheap bag of top soil for $3.00 or so. Mix it in with what you already have mixed up. Peat will eventually break down over a couple of years, so there is no long term consequence with adding too much. Peat will hold the moisture quite well, which means you might not have to water as often. Your mixture is not as bad as you think it its, it can be saved.
