Default might be the weirdest thing ever....doorlocks set off alarm?

ok...i need to know if this happens to anyone else or if something is very wrong with my car......


while driving, if either i or the passenger lock and then unlocks the door 2 or 3 times in a row kinda quick, the alarm will go off....horn hocking, lights flashing....everything!!! we found this out when someone was tryin to put the window down and instead starting clicking the auto door lock button.....its the dealer installed alarm too, so its not even like its an aftermarket F up....


so is my car going back to the dealer or what??? please HELP!!!!

I had the same problem in my Mazda6 with my aftermarket alarm. It happened once in a while but when it did it was very annoying and the shop said they couldn't do anything about it.

You know the sound when you try to lock and unlock your car from the inside right? I have tried that if I lock/unlock the car from inside very quickly for a few times, the door will go crazy making that sound, it sounds like a machine gun on fire.
