QuestionI included this in rating, not sure if you see that. Alarm is factory, not after-market. Not sure if there is a Valet Switch. Alarm arms when doors lock, disarms only when door unlocked with key. No fuse labeled alarm in fuse box. Thinking about disabling hood sensor switch so the alarm can never arm (I hope).

-----Question-----
98 Voyager, bought used, power locks, no remotes, alarm arms when doors lock. Car alarm has started going off in the middle of the night, other times, etc. for no reason. Is there a way I can disable the alarm?
-----Answer-----
At least we know it's installed correctly
which is actually a good thing here.
Ok, try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, locate, press and hold in the
valet/overide button, found under the
dash area, (push button, spring loaded)
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes on solid,
and the siren chirps once.
(Your valet switch might be the toggle
(on/off) type. in this case, key on,
flip switch in opposite direction,
then turn the key off.)
This should reset the alarm, and reset
the grounded relay on the starter wire,
allowing you to start the engine.
At this point, the only thing working would
be the keyless entry from the alarm,
if it came equipped that way.
Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to usable armed mode.
You may get 2 chirps, confirming it,
and the lights may flash twice as well.
That should do it.
If you want to remove it at this point,
take it to your neighborhood installer
for this, or buy the wiring chart
(Go to: www.vehiclewires.com)
for the vehicle, and reverse engineer it wire
by wire, until safely removed.
If it does not work out this way,
you will have to replace the system
with one you know how to operate
and what to expect. Don't want to
get stuck in another bad situation.
I hope this helped..

Answerok, then the only 2 ways to fix this is
first, have Plymouth program a remote
to your system so you can arm and disarm
the facory alarm when you lock and unlock the doors.
or,
put in your own aftermarket keyless entry to
emulate the functions (lock and unlock/arm disarm)
to solve the issue.
The common thread here is the Voyager door locks
control the factory alarm arming and disarming,
and by adding the remote function, solves the
issues you are having.
I can sell you a keyless entry
kit for 44.95 if you want to go that way.
