I have no idea what is doing it. Could it be a grounding issue?

check the vanity mirrors on the sun visors, make sure they are not on
also check the trailer harness for any shorting of pins that might be bent..

OH yeah see its my contractors truck im borrowing. He used to have a car alarm but it does not work now so could the wiring be shorting out one connection? If I remove it would it help?

Anything is possible when extra accessories are added to a vehicle, thou I would be careful so you don't cause the alarm system to inadvertently disable the vehicles ability to start.
