Alarm goes off for no reason

It can be any of the car door not got properly locked or the door is locked but the switch is not sensing the door locked.Open and close each door again properly.
Or else its problem with any of switch wiring getting in contact with alarm wiring causing it to happen.And last thing alarm connections needs to be inspected.Its getting short somewhere in between.

There are few helplinks with solutions,to troubleshoot these types of problems.I suggest going through these links.

I have a 2003 toyota corolla and the alarm goes off when the temp. drops to about 50 degrees F.

50 degrees and it's just sitting there or is it riding down the road? sounds like the battery is going down and as it goes below a certain voltage the alarm goes off. Show up at a parts store and have them test the battry and for a battery drain( draw09 a darw on the battery as the car is shut off. This may find the reason for the alarm going off.

Have a 1998 lincoln continental that has factory alarm. but i dont have a keypad. i would like 2 disarm it, it goes off for no reason.

if its an aftermarket alarm, which im sure it is, find the brain to the aftermarket alarm and unhook it. trace the brain back from the car alarm siren hardware. it shoud b mounted somewhere under the hood. theres not a lot of available space in the engine compartment. so you should easily find the siren hardware. trace the wiring back to the brain and disconnect it. it cant be factory alarm. factory alarm only goes off when u dont use keyless remote or key to unlock a locked door or trunk. factory alarm blows horn and blinks parking lights

97 bmw 528i factory alarm goes off for no reason

disable the hood microswitch. just unplug it. That and the cabin sensor are the most probably reasons the alarm will go off.
Alarms are useless. Totally effin useless. So it goes off.....then whaddya going to do. Shoot someone? Call the police? or listen to it drain the battery over and over again.
But....you can't disable the alarm totally. The bmw engineers have tied it into the main computer. you can however disable the sensors one by one so it doesn't set off the alarm. Hood sensor....Hood sensor....that's the culprit.
