Additional info....

I closed the driver's door, had interior lights completely off just to
save battery, then locked the car with the key remote. Doors were
locked but alarm wasn't armed. Went back out over an hour later and
alarm was still NOT ARMED. If it's a timer then it's set for more
then an hour :O/
It's starting to sound like something is messed up with the body control module/door module. Could be programming and that will
take the dealer or someone with a DRBIII scantool to figure out.

I still wonder if they messed something up when doing your door. I'd almost suspect a connector problem with the module. Except if
it wasn't working then the disarm from your driver door would not work. They had to disconnect the module to get to the window
motor.

Did the dealer do the work? If so I'd take it back and ask them to check.

Wasn't a dealer, was a local very good quality shop that has done all
my work for me for a long time. This is Florida and the dealers
charge an arm and a leg and your dreams, too. I am starting to
believe it's a connector and it's just loose. Last night I grabbed
the cable bundle in the door and wiggled it around and didn't change
anyhing. But this morning when I got to work, just for chuckles I hit
the remote lock after exiting the driver's door... the lights went off
and the alarm armed. Go figure. Might pull the door panel off myself
and poke around inside before paying money I don't have to have
someone push a plug back on tighter :O)

Thanks!

One word of caution on removing the door panel.
Watch those plastic edges, they are amazingly sharp!

It also helps to have the window down.

Thanks Doug. Been there, done that :O/ When I was having problems
with my window the drive feel apart and the window fell down into the
door with rain not too far away. I managed to get the panel off and
get a board under the bottom of the window to prop it up so I didn't
ruin my leather seats. Found out first hand how sharp the edges on
the plastic door panel were.

Appreciate all your help with this.
Scott
