Replace the batteries. $25 but may not stop the siren wailing depending on exactly what is wrong. I tired this two times with only short term success
Replace the batteries and capacitors. Might approach $50 but almost guaranteed to stop the problem - depending upon your circuit board soldering skills.
Remove the units for repair by BBA or others. Price is $69, IIRC, but a guaranteed solution.
Have siren disabled by Tech. My permanent solution. This cost me $25 and I now have horn beeps rather than siren chirps. Some shops may charge for a 1/2 hour of labor, or around $50 to do this.
Remove batteries and have message disabled. Again; probably $25 to $50 to retain the siren chirps and receive no SID message, but you will also invest an hour of your own time to remove batteries.
Purchase new siren. Can be done for nearly $400, but I don't know why anyone would go this route.
