So yesterday I left my car lights on for the whole day. When I got back

to the car, the battery was dead.

I managed to jump the car with cables of a colleague and thought I
would be fine.


However, now it happens that everytime I open the door some kind of car

alarm would start for about 20 seconds.


The thing is, I don't have a car alarm! Well, I was never told I had
one, and I don't have any electronic device to turn it off.


Do you have any idea on what I should do?

BTW, I have a 2004 Chevrolet Aveo I bought from CarMax in December
2005.

Thanks,
Carlo

find the fuse to the alarm and unhook.

Good idea! But how do I do that? I cannot even locate the alarm box!

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Yes, bring the car to your local repair service and ask them to remove
the fuse for you. I was in a similar situation with a used car I purchased
and had an auto repair place remove the alarm. Cost me $30 which was cheaper
than my messing around with things of which I had no knowledge and possibly
causing other problems.

I actually tried the crapshoot of going to CarMax and -guess what?-
they unhooked it for free in 10 minutes.

WAY TO GO CARMAX!!!

Thanks for your help, everybody!
