I have a 93 explorer and when I turn my alarm on sometimes the parking lights (front / rear) and interior instrument panel lights remain on . I would have to cycle through the alarm on /off a few times before they eventually turn off when I want the alarm system to be armed or disarmed . I would come back to the car and if the system was tripped I would find the lights on when the alarm rearmed itself . Is there a relay for the parking lights and instrument panel lights for the factory alarm that I can replace as an easy fix and if so where would I find it? Or should I just replace the alarm system . I thought it might have been my interior headlight light switch the cause of the problem. Ruled that out since this only occurs when I deactivate or activate the alarm .

 

Bad vibration on front end while high speed braking caused the battery cables to loosen up. Changed ball joints,rotors, pads and Tighten battery cable. Alarm Problem solved.

 

well, it must have REALLY been vibrating to loosen battery cable.

never heard of anything like that before.

glad you figured it out.
