Problem overview

Some Saab 9-3 owners report experiencing random alarm activations regardless of the door or window status, which may be caused by several factors. One potential issue is a faulty tilt sensor, which can trigger the alarm unexpectedly. Additionally, a malfunctioning driver's window master switch may also contribute to this problem. Owners are advised to check the alarm log with a Tech 2 diagnostic tool to identify specific triggers for the alarm activations. In some cases, a dying alarm battery can lead to these random activations as well. If the alarm issue persists and becomes bothersome, some owners resort to temporarily disconnecting the car battery to stop the alarm from going off. It is essential to address these concerns promptly to avoid further complications.
