I have a 1997 Honda Accord SE that came with a factory installed alarm. Recently the alarm has been going off for no reason at all (very annoying). I brought it in to my dealer last year for the same problem and they couldn't find the problem. Does anyone know of a simple way to disable the alarm?? I don't live in a very dangerous place where the alarm is needed. Thanks.

You could try messing with the hood switch.... make it think the hood is
always open and hopefully keep it from arming.

But I doubt it is going off for no reason.... you could have a bad door lock
actuator or switch causing the system to think the door was unlocked or
opened.

Under the hood--look for the fuse box. Check the labels under the lid and
look for a fuse--it's a fairly big one--that is labelled alarm or
something like that. Remove the fuse. That should disable the alarm.
