If that does not help, then you would need a Factory Electrical Diagrams manual and the Factory Service Manual set of books (order from dealer). And understand the wiring diagrams.

Check the door plungers and especially the hood plunger. If one of those get 'off' the car will think someone is opening the door or hood and sound the alarm. Common issue.
