My OEM anti-theft alarm (horn-lights) on my 98 Explorer has being going off randomly during days and nights. The only thing that prevents this from happening is to leave it unlocked (has keyless entry and key fobs). If I use the key fob or power door locks to lock it, within 1-3 hours it will go off. It is not caused my water or moisture, because I live in dry, dry, dry Arizona.
I saw a fix on the internet for the same problem on a 2002 Ford Pickup, but the wires in the connector are not the same as mine. It mentioned two connectors behind the left rear door panel where the jack is stored: one 8-wire and one 11-wire. both of mine have more wires than that.
Any mechanic know which one to unclip to disable the alarm?
