One or more of your ground points is rusted out and making the alarm
flaky. dis-connect the battery and thoroughly clean all ground points.
Get a metal toothbrush and brush the rust away.
There's 2 ground points I can think of off the top of my head: follow
the negative battery cable from the battery to the motor. At one point
in between it also connects to the body. Then there's the connections
from the alternator. OK maybe that's 3. There's a few more but I can't
think of them. Find 'em, clean em. Your car will be good.
