electrical / alarm going off

issue been getting worse this past week, and its time to track it down.. im going to try and be as detailed as possible here..

05 base sedan, the power locks have never worked inside the car ( work with remote ) not a big deal. never bothered me. The locks however would randomly start going off when driving, wierd. what ever. Now every time i open my door my alarm goes off... well over a year i owned this car i never knew it had an alarm. and now im getting too much of it lol. *edit* everything to this day works on my little remote. *
i tried disconnecting the smart start box under the dash by the pedals, but wierd things happened, alarm wouldnt shut off, car wouldnt shut off even if i took the key right out, etc. so i pluuged it all back in, its still drive able but driving me nuts....

IF i could, i would disable my remote start/locks/trunk i really dont care tbh, and just do it all manually/with the key and trunk pop.
is there a way around this? maybe i tried tampering with the wrong box, there is another black box under the dash i havent touched.

Having my little remote or not does not bother me, i just want this issue set aside.

3/5 of my past vehicles i had to disconnect the remote power box for one reason or another, so if this one is the same . fawk it

Change out your door lock switches. That should fix the lock/unlock problem while driving(maybe even your alarm problem). I'm not sure what kind of aftermarket stuff is installed in your car but the lock switches are known to go bad and they aren't too expensive to replace.

If it's your factory alarm going off, only someone with a tech2 can disable it. I don't know if a dealer would disable it for you but if they will, it will cost you some programming fees.

Good luck!
