Alarm sounding

I hope you may be able to help, I am posting this on behalf of my friend who is the new owner of my '94 968 Sport. With me so far ? [:)]The alarm has just today started to sound without any obvious reason. It is parked and will suddenly trigger the horn/lights flashing alarm. She is fitted with the factory immobiliser no aftermarket alarm and has not shown this problem before. Drivers door is not closing cleanly and needs adjustment, no damage just time working on the hinges as is often the case on '69's & '44's. Wondered if that may be connected? Any tips gratefully received, I feel bad as I never had any problems with the car and then sell it to a friend and this happens!
I am midway to the dark side btw about to buy a 964. Missing my 968 though. There are some real sheds out there in the flat 6 market. Hopefully though about to do a deal and get back behind the wheel of a Porsche.
Thanks in advance

I'm afraid to say it probably needs an Indie to sort out. Its undoubtedly a short somewhere. If the immobiliser/alarm control unit is in the same place as the 944 (ie passenger side front floorpan) then they do suffer with time from corrosion. its a vulnerable spot for moisture even in a watertight car. At the end of the day its not too expensive to sort out however and dont feel too guilty, your mate still has a very fine car - where else can you get that performance and poise for the price?
my wife has caught me and has asked me to post what happens if I get the zip stuck in my anorak....time to log off
 
Not sure if this will help but I had a similar problem with my 92 968.

Unless my memory fails me, the problem was a limit switch in the glovebox.
