My alarm sys went off a couple of wks ago for no apparent reason. Did this for 4-5 days til I stopped locking drivers dr and  
  
 put club on steering wheel. Made appt w/rep shop on a Fr for Tue. Over the wkend  
  
 it stopped. Should I still hv it checked?

I wouldn’t bother having it checked until it’s acting up again because the shop likely won’t be able to diagnose the problem if it’s not happening.

That said, don’t leave vowels out when you post. This isn’t a text message, it’s a forum, and it makes it hard to understand your post.
