There is an internal sensor...maybe something inside the car is moving?

I think

also that a sensor or something is bad....every time i lock/arm the car ther's a short beep.... like a door or something is not closed.(open circuit)

Are you using a sunshade? Tried using one of those once, and it set my alarm off every 10-15 minutes or so.

And I believe that one beep means something and two beeps mean another when you lock the car. (It's in the manual...) One of them means something is ajar. Like your center console cubby.

when i had my secondary alarm put in.. i also had some problems with my stock alarm going off after activation... the installer said that the original stock alarm sends out a pulse after the alarm has been engaged (in my case it was about 7-10 minutes after activation) to check and make sure all doors including hood/enginebay are secure. Someone my secondary alarm was setting this off with its own pulses.

He basically told me that something is breaking the oringal alarms 7 minute pulse circuit at either one of those points and that is what is setting off the alarm. So im guessing this might also be your problem.

Best bet is to take it in and have it looked at.
