There is a feature in the WDS or IDS diagnostic called LAST ALARM ACTIVATION where you can see the trigger of the cause.
Other than that, 'let the guessing begin'.

The other thing i noticed when i lock the doors with the fob, you can hear the doors lock, but i can hear the passenger door lock 5 times.

ALL locks need to 'agree' on the same state so any lock/latch 'out-of-sync' will cause the system to fail.

A latch switch or lock servo has failed on one of the body closures.

You are not far from me if you are in Fort Worth. I can use WDS or IDS to check the modules or last alarm activation to help with diagnosis.
Let me know.
