Two ideas.... Posted by MI-Roger [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: need some alarm help please, Nathan Pflaum ![]() |
1) The problem with the Theft Alarm System may be something other than the batteries in the siren module. Door sensors, glass sensor, hood sensor, etc. Have you had any codes pulled to identify which component of the system is malfuntioning?
2) There appears to be more time-related problems than just the batteries in the siren modules. Some owners have replaced all capacitors, in addition to replacing the batteries, suspecting "capacitor plague" may be causing the problem.
Eventually I tired of attempting D-I-Y repairs, each lasting less time than the previous repair, and had a Dealership Tech disable the siren. New sirens are now available for $250 if you really want the sound of siren chirps rather than horn beeps.
