    Perfect! This 66 year old woman (me) just did this and sure enough it fixed this problem with my 2014 Buick Encore. A big thank you for taking the time to make this video.

    Not only did this solve my prob I called Honda who NEVER even tried to help by offering advice, didn't call back and could only schedule an appointment in 5 days.... I then researched the problem, tried your solution following all the simple instructions. Guess what? It completely SOLVED the problem. i am blown away with the incompetency of the dealership.

    Thank you so much! I have been having this problem for a couple of days now and have had people leaving angry notes on my car complaining about the alarm. I was quoted $109 an hour for an electrical diagnostic (did not know how many hours it would take to figure out what was wrong) and instead bought a $5 lubricant and tried your technique out. It has been 8 hours now and no alarm sounds! Thank you thank you! You have saved me so much money and trouble. Great video

    Worked for me! Thanks man. My neighbors were getting pissed off at 3am. My Toyota Prius was going off every 2 minutes and I didn't know what to do. So I looked on YouTube and found this video and problem solved. Thank you very much!!
  • Started having this problem yesterday. Called the agency just to get an appointment and after being placed on hold for four times to get to the right department, I came up on them. Checked YouTube and your video was the first one that came out. It made perfect sense. I have one door that does not close properly. I took your advise and now monitoring my car to see if it got fixed. I am subscribing.

    Thank you kind Sir! I encountered this problem on a family friend's car. Simply followed your instructions and it worked like charm. You've got another new subscriber! Thank you again Mark!

    Just want to confirm that this also worked on my VW Golf 4, a 16 year old champ that's still going strong! Thank you so much for publishing this video!

    2016 GMC Yukon XL, alarm kept going off indicating tailgate or doors open. It would go off all hours of the day and was driving me nuts! The good news, this fix worked! Thank you for your video.
  • Thank you so much for making this video. A couple days ago my husband went to get in our truck and it was locked which he hadn't locked. He unlocked it with the key and the alarm went off. Could not get it to shut off after he tried several things so truck has set. We came across your video he tried it and it worked wonderfully. This worked for our 1997 Dodge Dakota.

    So far so good. I had this problem with my '06 Acura and took WD 40 to the trunk latch and the front hood latch. We've been two days now without the alarm going off unexpectedly; hoping that this is a longterm solution, but am prepared to replace a switch (or switches) if needed! Thanks for the great video, it was great to have something to try after being up all night trying to figure it out!
  • Thank you very much!!!! had a terrible weekend with the car not starting, i tried to look up how to disable the darn alarm and came across this video. I am at work and a quickly dashed out to do this, worked like a charm! Many thanks from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe!!!
  • @tatijanna7824
    Thank you so much for this video!! We live in a condo and I am sure we would have had multiple complaints. You are a neighborhood hero!
  • @malaki9ify
    My alarm went of every two hours through the night oh my word I cannot wait to try this! Nothing else worked and I don't have the wrench to disconnect the neg terminal of my battery. Thank you so much for this video! Also your face at the beginning when the alarm goes off😂😂😂😂 me every time mine goes off, same face.... lol. I needed a laugh after last night. You ROCK man! Now I just have to make it through my day of momming with very little sleep under my belt.... 😊

    Thanks for posting this video. I’m ecstatic that I found it. I’d have spent no telling how much time trying to figure this out or paying somebody to fix something that I didn’t need to pay for. The alarm was going off randomly if the vehicle was locked. Fortunately, I noticed a Hood is Open INFO notice the yesterday so running across your video was perfect. WD-40 seems to have fixed it but if it comes back I’m pretty sure the hood sensor will be the problem.
  • Thanks for the information.... It seems that your advice still works in 2023. I also sprayed and massaged the rear window mechanism while I was at it. Not sure how much money you saved me... But the neighbors are glad I watched your video.
  • @SouthMainAuto
    Funny you just put this up today, just had a customer come in the shop this morning telling me about his intermittent alarm problem he has been having on his Mountaineer and then he mention his other intermittent problem he has been having..... give you a second to guess what that was... yep his flickering dome light and door ajar light as he was driving. He told me it has to be a short for sure lol. I told him not to worry, one little door switch and we will kill two birds with one stone :) . Ended up being the pass rear door on his but it was a little past the lube stage. Good tip for folks, great job!

    I thought no way on this fix for my neighbors BMW. Sure enough, it fixed the alarm . Thanks for posting
