Just as the title says. Is there anyway to lock the car that wont set off the alarm when you open it without using the keyless entry?

My keypad will lock the car, but the unlock button no longer works. This sets off my car alarm everytime I open it by key then. I have tried locking it manually with the inside locks and key, however it doesn't work.

As it sits now, the only way into my car without setting of the alarm is keeping it unlocked.

turn the alarm off. the blinking red light in mine is also the button to shut it off, hold it in for like 5-10 sec with car on and it should shut it off. i think it become a solid red light when its off

the alarm doesnt activate if you only push the lock button once. if u push it twice the car will beep and the alarm is set.

lock the door then manually unlock and lock it again. works for me

Rydis

hmm..wonder if braulio could do it?

Manual key locking sets it off. So the beep when locking twice sets the alarm. Thanks.

yea when my keyfob was fucked i just got in the habit of locking it with the interior lock button everytime i got out of the car

Rydis

yeah I use the interior lock button. Press once it beeps but doesn't lock, press second time it locks, but will activate alarm when opened with the key :/

Don't use the power locks to lock the doors. Push the actual door lock knob down and try that. Just like old school before power locks were invented, haha.

resolder the battery hold down back the board normally all that ever goes wrong with them

EDIT: just so happens i had one to take some pics of. you just have to re solder all three tabs to board and its fixed. no reprograming needed.

YES^^^

lol

Rydis

mines still soldered to the board. However the black crap seems to eroded from the back of the button.

im looking for the lazy way ..you know..where I didn't have to do it to both sides of the car every time I get out lmao

re solder it just in case i did both of mine but one was like that not even connected and the other was like half bullshit

There should be at least 2 settings on it. It's prob on tha highest setting now because you have to press tha button on tha fob twice, which in turn unlocks both doors (or all : sedan). On tha highest setting it will set off tha panic alarm if you pop tha door because it basically thinks your breaking into tha car because tha other / all other doors are locked. Just do as above says and play with DIC in your car... you'll learn something and be surprised with tha results as well

When in doubt check your owner's manual!!!

My unlock button on both my remotes stopped working at about the same time probably a year ago. Seems alot of people have just the unlock button stop working or the solder for the battery breaking.

Sounds like a defect to me. The other day my roommate borrowed my car and I forgot to tell him to only lock the door manually. I dont think the lock button on the remote works anymore cause I couldnt get it to lock the doors when I tried. I had to pull the horn fuse cause the alarm wouldnt stop even after unhooking the battery for 8 hrs. Now the hazards will start flashing randomly but the rear blinkers stopped working a month ago so just the fronts flash.

does the alarm still go if you put the key in the ignition and start the car?

3de3gre33dk3

the key fob sounds fine if it locks, the rubber pad for unlock is worn out and no completing the circuit buy a new pad off ebay for 3bucks

Rydis

no, it stops when you start the ignition.

stonny9

yes and it will still go off when driving down the road. since the other day even if the car is left unlocked the alarm will still go off but I have the horn fuse pulled.


not my car

Although ever since I switched pcm's with an 06 trying to trace a tps code I have to hold the key to start it as it takes like 5 secs to start when cold and kinda sputters when starting but otherwise runs great. I now have another 05 pcm in the car and it still does the same thing. Maybe my starting issue is causing the alarm to not turn off.

^^this. I made it so my lights don't turn on when I unlock my car. You can also disable the flashing side markers when you lock/unlock, even turn off the horn notification when you lock it twice. But I don't know about the alarm.

majourpain

just hit the power lock on the inside once. the beeping is the delayed lock feature. takes about 10 sec AFTER the doors are all closed for the locks to... well lock.

If you dont want the delay feature go play with you DIC like the above poster said. you can turn it off on the DIC to lock right away. either way this wont activate the alarm.

I had to do this for a week while i wated for the dealer to get a hood switch in because it got wet and set the alarm off when it elt like. at work 2 in the morning etc

06SS ALL DAY

my key fob is broke and my alarm is always set, no matter what i do i try to disarm the alarm via ignition, key in the door nope never works. so it got to the point where i had to disconnect my horn. now i use the power lock on the passenger side as i get out... that b.s. on ebay doesnt work its ALLLLLL for the 2007 and up cobalts 06's and 05's have a different part number on the key fob. go gm!
