Our alarm was going off at random times, including in the middle of the night. Problem? A sensor switch that senses when the passenger-side sliding door is closed had quit working. I purchased the part online and the repair took about 15 minutes. NOTE: This is the second time this happened with this van, though I failed to report the earlier repair (to the sliding door on the other side). The first time it took me longer to figure out what to do. EDIT: This time this repair did not solve the alarm problem; see next repair for the solution that worked this time. |
