My car alarm keeps going off when nobody is touching my car. Until I get it fixed, I need to stop it from making noise all day. What’s the best way for me to disable a 2009 Mazda 6 car alarm?

Car alarms can help deter thieves, but they can also be loud and very annoying. If your alarm is going off for no reason, you can disable it by:
Disconnecting your vehicle’s battery while you aren’t driving, or
pulling the alarm fuse.
Since it can be frustrating to disconnect and reconnect your cables everytime you need to drive, follow these steps to pull your alarm fuse:
Locate the fuse box in your Mazda 6—it should be on the left of the dashboard.
Open the box and use the diagram to locate your alarm fuse.
Pull out the fuse with a pair of needle-nosed pliers or plastic tweezers,
Leave it unplugged until you have a chance to get it checked out.
While your car doesn’t need an alarm to function, you may be at higher risk of theft if you go too long without one. Bring your car to a mechanic as soon as possible so they can fix your alarm!
