My car was sitting in the driveway, when the alarm went off. I pulled the fuse, #9, 10 amp. To get it to stop. I've tried replacing all of the batteries in my key fobs. I put the fuse back in. I thought the problem was over. All was fine for a couple days. Alarm went off again, while I was driving down the road. Beautiful day, no rain. I did notice that the ESP Warning Light was on the second time. Any ideas?

The first thing your going to have to do is have a full scan done with a professional scan tool that can read all the computers in your car. Write down the actual code numbers that is your starting point. You may also need that professional scan tool to diagnose the problem.

That's the complete answer. Just take it for a scan? No other ideas?

Thanks. K

If I had it at my shop the first thing I would do is do a complete scan on all the computers. Computers control everything on that car including your factory alarm. Iam not trying to blow you off unfortunately the newer the car the newer the car the more computers and the more they control.I wish it wernt like that it would save me money for all the expensive scan tools I have to buy and the expensive software updates. Also would save me a lot of headaches trying to figure the problems out. Your going to have codes from that esp light on. The newer cars are getting less and less diyer friendly. It doesn't make sense to just start tearing things apart without checking to see if there is codes in the computers to lead US in right direction.
