Anyone know any specifics about adding alarm sensors to the OEM system? I've seen some info about tapping into the hood switch wiring for a shock sensor but I can't find any info in how it's wired. I'm looking to put a contact or tilt sensor on tool box door, basically a N/C switch. Or maybe if when the alarm is activated there's a line that energizes that I could tap into to activate my own relay driven alarm???

I need help. I have brought this in for service several times and they can't find the problem. I'm now convinced the problem is the factory alarm system that came with my 2010 Suburban. If I park it and push once on the fob to only lock the doors, everything is fine. But if I push twice to lock the doors and activate the alarm, then when I come back a couple days later, the battery will be completely dead. When I charge the battery, almost immediately after connecting the charger, the alarm will go off, honking the horn, blinking the lights, etc. BTW, it does not drain from the alarm running too long without my knowledge. The alarm almost NEVER goes off except in this situation when I connect the charger. For a number of reasons I am positive that the alarm is not going off without my knowledge and running for so long it drains the battery. It is draining the battery without making a sound. What can I do? I've seen instructions on how to remove the door panel and cut the alarm wires, but before I take that drastic action, is there anything else to try? Is there a way to adjust the alarm to maybe avoid the drain. Is there another way to disable it that is easier and/or less destructive than cutting the wires? Thanks for your help!
