Default car alarm?

do 98's come with a car alarm?

When i had a deer accident and my battery terminals had to be replace, after my car was fixed i went to go open the doors and it went off. But thats the only time this happened....when i lock my doors since i had it the car will honk once when i lock the doors but if i push on my car no alarms go off or anything, but the lock on the driver side door flashes red........so do i have an alarm or not?

Hey man. What you have is a flashin LED (red) on the drivers door as a theft deterrent. If someone tries to FORCE their way into your car with a crowbar, breaks a window then opens the door, etc. your cars horn will honk obnoxiously and the lights will flash. (like when you press the panic button on the key fob)

You cannot make it go off by rocking the car, banging on it, pulling on the handle, or anything like that. It is a forced entry alarm.

Hope that helps! Keep the questions coming!
