How do you disable a car alarm?
Press the "Unlock" button on your car's remote to turn off the car alarm if it begins to sound. You can also insert the key into the car and unlock the door if it sounds before you unlock the vehicle. This shuts off the alarm when it sounds.Find the fuse that controls your car alarm. The fuses are what send electricity to different parts of your vehicle. Open the user manual for your car and look at the "Fuse" section.Remove the fuse that sends electricity to your car alarm. More than likely this fuse is under the hood of your car (fuses found inside your car usually run off the car's battery, however the alarm system works when your car isn't turned on). Your user manual should include a photograph or diagram to show you where the fuse box is on your model of car. You may need a pair of pliers to remove the fuse, because some are rather tough to remove. Removing the fuse disables the alarm until you replace the fuse.

Can a car alarm going off drain your battery?
Yes. If the alarm keeps ringing and doesn't reset itself or is ignored by the owner and left running for hours it will eventually drain the battery. The alarms that flash lights in addition to making noise would draw more power and have more of an effect on the battery.I've seen parked cars with motion sensors based alarms triggered by vibrations when a large vehicle goes past it. If your battery was weak, having an overly sensitive alarm triggering repeatedly would probably finish it off.The alarm in a non triggered state shouldn't draw much power. But if the car is left unused for extended periods, get a battery minder to keep the battery charged. The most common automotive battery are the wet cells (flooded batteries). Some self discharge at a rate of 30% per month.
Why does my car alarm keep going off?

Why does my car alarm go off when i start my car?
You alarm should not sound if you start it. I've installed a few alarms and like most electrical gadgets... alarms go bad after 4-6yrs. Some sooner than others depending on the mft, ie Clifford is notorious for faulty alarms. Try disconnecting your alarm at the battery, this can sometimes reset a faulty alarm. If that does not work disconnect the alarm brain (black box) located up under the drivers feet/pedals. Disconnect and reconnect all the plugs. Sometimes plugs work themselves loose. Then try starting your car again. If your alarm led is flashing while it is unarmed then one of your trigger pins is faulty - door pins, hood pin, trunk pin, etc.... If none of these work them your alarms brain/computer is bad... And you need to buy a new alarm or carefully remove the old alarm. If you don't have enough money for a new alarm yet. You can use your existing LED light and hook it up to flash as a false alarm light, when the key is not in the ignition. hope this helps :)
