All,

My car alarm acts weird. Neither of the car key buttons work to disable it nor do the trunk/hood release buttons on the key work either. So I’m forced to unlock the doors manually via the key (left/right turn to unlock/lock). Once I open the door I have like 15 sec before the alarm goes off, seems kind of quick but I assume this is a default setting. Once I insert the key into the ignition all seems fine. However, when I press the “key-button” on the console there’s a delay before the doors unlock. As well, I have to press it a few times in order to unlock the gas tank. Is there a trick here or something I’m missing?

I would appreciate any feed back.

Thanks!!!!
