Alarm systems can monitor anything from your home security to critical processes in manufacturing and life support systems in hospitals. The intent with an alarm system is to advise when there is a problem or a serious issue with whatever is to be monitored. In a residential application this could be protecting your home from break and enter attempts, to signalling the fire department to a fire or smoke condition or carbon monoxide build up in a home. In a commercial application it's the protection of business assets, inventory, equipment or just over all premise security.

How do you deactivate the alarm for a 1996 Dodge Avenger?

i have a 1999 avenger and my alarm would go off for no reason at all so what i did was take out the fuses for the alarm and the horn and it seem to work. (fyi after doing so your alarm will not work) if your alarm goes off and you do not have a remote- put your key in the passenger side door and turn it to the left... it will turn off the alarm... OR I think i tried the passenger door and it would not work for me. I know that you can unlock the trunk and it will disarm.
