    I saw the microswitch on the battery, but wasn't sure what it was for. Any Idea why the alarm would go off for no reason after I locked the car?

    If one of the switches on the door was not working quite right, after you lock it it would see a door open and go off.

    Very frustrating indeed! Can anyone shed some light on the battery microswitch and how it works relative to the car not starting? That pesky microswitch may well have been the cause of my headaches. If it happens again is there a simple or quick way to override the system? It didn't reset despite my leaving the battery disconnected for a while then reconnecting it.
    Is there any way of determining which door switch could be faulty apart from a process of elimination?

    I have approx same problem with my 94-540. the locks pop up when I lock it (door) with the key. the second time they stay down. At this time the trunk does not lock. When I lock the car at the trunk they do not pop up. I also hav another related problem. My key remote does not work. It is built into the key. Right now the car is in a permanent Alarm mode.(lights flash-alarm sounds - car will not start) . By pulling the fuse on module and unpluging one connector, all the alarms quit and I can start car , but no computer display.
