I pulled the alarm module, but apparently between the 2000 and 2002 model
years they changed its design. It's no longer held shut with screws -- the
plastic is electrostatically welded or glued or something. So I'm not
quite sure how to open it without destroying it. If I get brave I may try
to cut it open with a shallow-blade table saw, change the batteries, and
then seal it shut with silicone. Worst case I ruin it, which is no worse
than it is now.
Meanwhile it's sitting on the shelf in my garage. I have to hit the RESET
button every time I start the car to clear the error message, but that's no
worse than it was before I yanked the module.
What a PITA.
Gary
