Strange alarm behavior on 2001 GT ... description inside

[sixfrost]

Hi group. Was wondering if anyone could help me with my recent problem.

Just noticed a couple of days ago.
1. When I shut off the car, and leave the key in ignition, the internal
chime keeps going off. Same one as if the lights are still on when you
leave the car... When i take the key out, it stops.
2. When I close it with my remote, instead of one confirmation horn sound, i get two short ones, as if the door was ajar (all are closed of course).

I have no idea what can be causing this.

Perhaps not related, but i noticed the same internal chime (1) in my mom's 1998 Mercury Mistique. I am now curious if this is a ford issue?

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Mike

When you said it chimes like the lights are on and the alarm chirps twice when locked, that would mean the car thinks a door is open. I would check into seeing if one of the door sensors is busted and replacing it would probably solve your problem!
