My Mark VIII has a factory alarm. I was driving in extremely rainy, humid weather once. Water collected in the blower casing faster than it could drain out, causing it to overflow onto the alarm module located just below, short it out, and set it off while I was driving down the road.
I was able to disable it in about 3 minutes by pressing in 2 tabs to drop the glove box down, feeling around for which box was clicking (from the relays that flash the lights and honk the horn), and pulling out 2 connectors. This didn't keep the car from starting, didn't disable the keyless entry, or anything else besides deactivating the alarm. Not exactly the most secure car alarm I've ever seen!
