1.) When you press the lock button does the car acknowledge it? (beep or no beep)

If it doesn't, the vehicle think's that a door/hood/trunk is open. Try disconnecting the hood latch switch, then press the lock button on your fob. Try this again with the door switches. You're basically isolating the switches. This is what we would do at a dealership.

okay, lock button does ackowledges everything you just mentioned. worse thing is its even happening when i was driving home. it was a B!TCH everyone was staring at me as if i was crazy. alarm doesnt completely go off but sounds like it wants to go off but doesnt kinda like a b b b bee beep. hopefully that makes sense. was on the way to the dealership but as soon as i arrived the damn beeping magically disappeared so i sat at the dealership for an hour to see if it would start again but nothing. 30 minutes with the car on and 30 minutes with the car off. am i just better taking it to the dealership anyways now? how much do they usually charge to diagnose and what im looking to spend(guesstimate)?
