Firstly, check to see if the alarm module wires are okay, which is located behind the headlight switch. Then check the drivers door unlock switch from inside the door. You will have to remove the door pannel from the inside of the door to reach it. Check the wiring and the plastic cover on the connectors. If they are brittle, have them replaced, the connections are worn and there may be a short in it, because it is exposed to the outside enviroment. Poor materials won't last very long in exposed sections of a car, or water seepage from within the lock cylinders. If everything is fine, check the wires with a Multi-Meter, and set it for continuity. You will know if there is no connection. If a wire is broken from the door switch to the module, you need to run a replacement wire. Also, lastlym, check the door jam, where the rubber boot is located near the hinge of the door, to see if you find any breaks in the wire there, or a wire is grounding out on the frame.

How does house burglar alarm system work?

A network of PIR's (Passive Infra Red) detectors, panic attack buttons, door magnets, sirens/strobes and a central control unit/panel powers the system. The user will type in a personalized code into the panel keypad, giving the user a certain amount of time toexit the building before the alarm system is set. Then, when a person enters through a door, the magnetic door contacts detect the door movement. This happens when the magnets move apart from eachother. As when the door is closed, they are both next to each other. When the door is opened, it sends a signal to the control unit giving the user a certain amount of time to type in the code. If the type the code in right, then the system becomes unset and it is safe to walk around the house. But if the period of time is up and you have not typed in the code or you typed the code in wrong, then the burglar alarm will sound. The PIR's detect physical movement in rooms, corrridors and hallways etc. The same principle applies with the door contacts. When they detect movement when the alarm is set, you have a certain amount of time to unset the alarm. Different times vary with different alarm systems.
