Car Alarms: 1998 Buick Riviera factory alarm false alarms, buick riviera, negative polarity

Question
When the door is locked, the alarm goes off occasionally spontaneously.  How can I disable it temporarily, or permanently?  I read your answers re the 95 Riviera.  The ignition key does not fit in the door and the trunk key does not turn very far to the left, and the security light still lights, so I'm not sure it is disabled.  Alternatively, where can I find a wiring schematic?  And where is the sensor so I can perhaps replace it?

Thanks!!

Ok, if the OEM alarm is malfunctioning now,
(car horn blarring and head lights flashing)
odds are, it will again.

Get out some basic install tools or get
a friend or a good technician
in there to do this.

Normally, you would insert the key in
the drivers door, turn left, then right
to disarm and reset it. If yours is malfunctioning,
you can disable it for good by doing the following:

The FACTORY ALARM DISARM WIRE IS
lt. green |-| is located under the rear
seat by the battery.
|- negative polarity|.

Once Located, splice into this wire with
a simular guage wire, and put it to
a solid chassis ground. This terminates
the OEM alarm functions entirely.

Try this and you should do fine.

Happy Holidays!

Good luck.
