Alarm question.

In the manual it is called the Anti-theft Switch. If the CCM doesn't get the "key unlock" signal from that switch before the door open signal is seen, it sounds the horn. The door open signal comes from the door ajar switch. The door ajar switch located in the door edge and visible with the door open. It is a different switch than discussed above.

Here are some pictures of the door handle and switch:



It is a challenging job to take the door apart to replace that switch, but it can be done.

If you need a step-by-step, let me know. I just replaced it last week, and it solved all my alarm problems.

I got the switch (used) from CorvetteNutz.com.

Jim....I for one would like the step-by-step as all doors are a bit different (nice photos Jim) .......

I am assuming the anti-theft switch cannot be taken apart and fixed in some way?

Thanks Jim......and yes.....I have purchased parts from CorvetteNutz many times
