Smile Re: Car Alarm Keeps going off!! Dead Battery!?

Rushed it home (it screaming the whole time--luckily only 3 minutes ride home), then disconnected the battery, which settled things (which I'm now confused about, because I just read that the security alarm has its own power source...?). Then, I yanked #9 fuse to disable alarm altogether (as well as some other inconvenient things, like overhead lights and HORN). Now at least I can get to work without a scene...but is it true that the problem could ACTUALLY be fob batteries?? Did changing them actually work for you?
I really think it is the fob batteries. It has been five months since I put the new batteries in mine and I haven't had any problems since! Definitely give it a try.
