this is weird, but I had an intermittent car alarm failure on my '98 k2, but it was a bit different....the alarm would mysteriously "arm" itself....sometimes when idling, sometimes when I was driving. Embarrassing when I stopped and opened the door to get out...setting off the alarm. Also, occasionally the car wouldn't start at all....apparently related to some safety feature in the alarm system. I found that by opening and slamming the rear drivers-side door shut, it magically reset whatever was wrong in the first place. I have no idea how I figured that out. Ultimately, the alarm problem traced back to the rear driver-side door sensor...a little switch covered by a rubber boot. There was a bad contact internally...you could see one of the electrical leads inside looked a little darker through the translucent switch housing. Apparently it was arcing internally, and the alarm somehow interpreted that as a signal to "arm". I'd guess that a similar flaw in any of the door sensors would be troublesome Highly unllikely the exact sam thing is your problem, but it's a start. $18 at the VW dealer, and I'm back in business!

How do you reset the Keyless Entry Remote in a 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier after it stopped working after installing a new battery in the car?
If you get within range of the car when it would normally unlock itself with the remote, Hold down the lock and unlock button on the remote at the same time for ten seconds and you should hear the lock click and it should be working from then on. It worked on my cavalier, and I hope it helps yours as well.
