Car Alarms: Car Alarm, it too sensitive>


Question
Is there a way to reduce the sensitivity on the factory alarm for a 2001 Pontiac Firebird?  My girlfriend has an alarm that continually goes off at the slightest noise or bass rumble.  I would like to know if there is an easy way to reduce the sensitivity so that this problem can be resolved with out disarming the alarm.

Answer
Not certain of the system, but MOST knock/impact
sensors have a wheel inset into it to turn up or down
(counter clockwise is down).

Locate the sensor under the dash and turn down or
simply unplug it. Should be a little oblong box
wire tied up high under the dash, and would
blink when it detects vibration.

Good luck.
