My alarm keeps going off by

Alarm for what? Find out what the alarm is for and then fix it. Maybe it's a key alarm because the ignition is broken or the key is so worn that it continues to trip the alarm.

Some of the switches have an ohms reading so if the ohms are off in either the switch or the wiring then the system will activate, could also be a programming glitch, this old and this make and model of vehicle makes wiring issues very high on the list of possibilities. Time to dig out the shop and wiring manuals.
