alarm question

so if my alarm goes off for no reason is it safe to say that the module is about ready to bite it? I have never adjusted the sensitivity ever and it is so low that I can beat on the car and it never would go off. Now it seems to do it randomly once a day maybe. We haven't been having earthquakes that I am aware of so I can rule that one out.

I hope not, Gizmo was a Mogwai, he wasn't a Gremlin because he wasn't fed after midnight.

I've thought about getting a "Mogwai" license plate for my daily driver 1975 Gremlin, but I like running the year of manufacture tag, which doesn't cost more.

Id maybe suspect a faulty door or trunk switch?
