Resetting the alarm
#1
I tested my alarm a few weeks ago. I had the windows open and I put my hand in the car and it went off.
It hasn't worked since. When I press the button on the key chain twice, I hear the horn, but the motion sensors don't work anymore.
Is there a way to reset it?

I'm thinking that if you waited at least 1 minute after setting the alarm (assuming nothing was moving about that might have interfered with the alarm setting), you likely have two options:
First you could try resetting the system by disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery and leaving it disconnected for a few minutes before reconnecting it. Set the alarm, wait at least a mniute or two and then re-test.
Second will likely be taking the car to the dealer to have them re-program the system as something may have gotten fouled up relative to the alarm system.

The factory alarm doesnt have any motion sensors that i know of. Shock sensors yes, but no motion sensors.
