Why does my Dodge Avenger alarm keep going off?

Why does my Dodge Avenger alarm keep going off when it’s just sitting in the parking lot?

Jim Burg · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
How annoying! The quickest way to quiet an alarm that keeps going off is to unplug the fuse to the alarm system when it is not in use. This will cut power to the alarm system and force it
off
.
However, you’ll need to diagnose the root issue eventually to find a long-term solution. Car alarms can malfunction for multiple reasons—faulty sensors, short circuits, and water damage being some of the most common.
Because of the complexity of safety systems, it may be best to take your Avenger to a licensed mechanic or Dodge dealership to make any repairs necessary to keep the
anti-theft
 system working.
Another way to protect your car whether you’re driving it or not is with great car insurance.

What would happen if I changed the date on my insurance card?
I let my insurance lapse but want to get new insurance now. The other company will give me a discount for having prior insurance, but they need to see proof that I've had insurance continuously. What would happen if I sent them my insurance card with the date changed?
