- 03 Protege5, 08 Mazda5
I've searched around and not seen this anywhere...
The factory alarm on our 08 Mazda5 GT has started going off randomly when locking/unlocking/opening/closing doors. It's been a sporadic thing up to now, but today it went crazy. First, the key fob wouldn't lock the car, then when I opened the door to lock it manually, the damn thing starting honking. Hitting unlock would not silence, so I used the key in the door. Quiet.
So then I closed the door and the thing went off again! I instinctively hit unlock on the fob again and this time it worked.
My wife and I just stood there wondering if we should rename the car Christine. I hit the lock on the fob --- and --- click, flash, locked like no big deal. Hit unlock again --- click, flash --- open sesame!
So, I'm thinking the remote battery is going but my wife thinks "it's something bigger"....
Thoughts?
