So this is a new one - I made a few short car trips today, I have a 2018 Acura RDX. After the last short trip I locked the car and 5-10 minutes later the alarm sounds. It's not the panic button. Go in the car, start it, shut it, alarm is finished. Another 10-15 minutes later the alarm sounds again.
I lock the car and don't arm the alarm, but the running lights go on 20 min later. This happens a couple of times even after opening the hood/tailgate and closing it. I do some searching and am hearing it could be the hood latch sensor, door sensor or a low battery. Acura assistance was not helpful, basically saying drive the car it may reset.
I've turned off the auto lights but will be checking tonight to see if the interior lights are on. Anyone have experience with this before?
My alarm started going off randomly after the battery died and I had to jump it. Afterward, it would go off while I was parked, driving down the highway, etc. I sold the car not long after but if I recall correctly, I resolved the problem by disconnecting and reconnecting the battery. May not be a similar situation but maybe this will help.. Best of luck to you, it's annoying as hell I know
Good Luck. Electrical problems are annoying.
Disconnect the main battery to reset the system you may lose presets on the radio but it will help the system reboot itself.
And look to see if there is a recall on the issue that you may not have been advised on.
Good luck technology can be a pain in the ass sometimes.
The alarm kept going off randomly, and we took it to the dealer, they replaced all the sensors on the doors. I got so desperate that I even pulled the fuse to the horn so it wouldn't wake the neighborhood up at 3am. That blew up in my face when later that week, my battery was dead cause I hadn't realized that the headlights also went off with the alarm.
It ended up being the hood latch sensor. I unplugged it and boom, problem solved. It took the realization that the alarm got worse when the temperatures would have wild swings, to finally find the right area of the internet to search.
Good luck.

Thanks, this is what I'm hearing is the most common cause of the problem.
