I have some additional wonkiness that is related to the alarm and why I think it may be happening.
There are two harness connections at the front base of the battery on my '00 9-5 SE (145k miles) which I disconnected, electrical-cleaner'd, then reconnected. I did this not knowing that it would help anything; rather, I was on my way to replacing the automatic shifter sensor and bowden cable (or whatever you call it). Once I got down in there and started staring at it I ended up running out of time and put everything back together, cleaning the electrical connections on the way out. I planned to give it another go another day.
Well, this electrical harness cleaning happened to fix the original problem I was having where my transmission shifter would sometimes ignore the fact that I was putting it in drive. Now the automatic shifter has no problems (it's been at least 3,000 miles since then) but I started getting 'Service Theft Alarm' messages and the car alarm will randomly go off for about 10 seconds every now and then. But it's strange because JUST the alarm goes off--no lights blinking, horn honking, etc. I'm going to revisit the harnesses I previously cleaned out to see if that helps at all.
