You might be able to just disconnect the black 18pin connector on the Security System Module to stop the siren from randomly going off. This connector has the siren signal output. I have not tried this. I would but I dont have this problem and it's still raining.

MB's solution is to turn it upside down and put it in a bag.
This is fantastic information, thank you so much.

Part number is 170 800 08 48 not 17080000848 ( too many 0's)
Get the idea of more than one module out of your mind , there is only one.
I am sure the foam can be dried out, it may take a while.

Thank you for the links! I have to ask though, isn't there 2 modules back there though? The Central Locking Pump Module that made my side lights, tail lights and fog lights stay on?? and then theres the Alarm Module that started all the problems from the get-go that made my alarm go off erractially when I thought it was the siren alarm but apparently its the Alarm Module in the trunk? let me know because I thought it was two modules... if not, why would the service advisor say both modules needing replacement? in reality I'm assuming that the Locking Pump Module is actually the entire problem part here this whole time? and of course I will need to take the fixed wing spoiler apart and re-seal those area's and make drain plug(s) at the bottom of the trunk wells, great idea I must say!
