Thanks Grand and SK for the response. I just called my wife at work and had her go outside and unlock the passenger door. When she opened the door the alarm went off :( After she silenced the alarm I had her then exit the car, shut the door (unlocked) and lock it with the key manually from outside the car. She waited about 60+ seconds, unlocked the door with the key and the alarm did NOT go off. Could it be something in the lock switch in the door??

My wife drives a 98 LS 400 and within the last month we have had a problem with the alarm. Everytime she unlocks the door manually when she is outside the car, the factory alarm goes off. The key fob has never worked the 2 years we owned the car, so I can tell you that she locks the vehicle with the electric door switch every time she exits the car. Like I said this has only started within the last month and we have never had this problem before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
