Question We have a 2008 Pontiac G5 with a factory installed Theft Deterrent system. All was good until yesterday. It now seems to activate randomly...day or night, when no on is near it. Any ideas?
Answer Please be more descriptive if possible.
"activate?"
I need to determine whether it's a factory alarm
issue or, if it's an aftermarket system you are
dealing with.
Is it: Headlights flashing, car horn honking
and a worded SECURITY" light in the dash flashing?
(doubtfull since none of the notes show this
car as having a factory alarm system)=FACTORY
Or,
is it: flashing parking lights,
an LED in the dash area, and a siren
going off?= AFTER MARKET
Let me know more on this to better
advise you on a course of action
to take.
