Alarm help?

[Yukongk]

Any alarm gurus around here?
A week ago my security light came on a few times, it has since been off and no traces of it (no codes). Now my alarm randomly goes off for 45 seconds at a time (Hornet alarm system). I accidentally cut the wire going to the Siren over a month ago when my drill bit hit it but soldered and shrink wrapped it. I'm not sure where I should begin looking. Please help!

Thanks

Found the Alarm Manual. I was able to pull the last 2 triggers stored in the alarm systems memory. They both indicate the MULTIPLEXED INPUT, ZONE 1. Anyone know what this is?

Shock sensor more than likely. DEI products are well known junk (although it seems everyone LOVES Viper). your shock sensor is either too sensitive or has an internal issue. since every installer is different, I have no idea where to say your shock sensor is so you can turn your sensitivity down. It should be on the steering column somewhere or attached to a solid piece of metal in the dash somewhere. Good luck.

Good luck.

Thanks, I'll need it.
Alarm was working without issue for 10+ years. Maybe the sensor went bad....I'm thinking of replacing the whole system instead of chasing the problem. I'll check the shock sensor, but not sure how to test it. It's not like I can plug in my obd2 scanner or anything....

The way you test it is unplug it and see if the alarm falses again. If the alarm still false triggers with the shock sensor unplugged, it isn't the shock sensor. If it is an on-board shock sensor (built into alarm module) then you're out of luck.
