I have changed batteries in fob, I have also replaced the cars battery then because this didn't cure the problem, I finally removed the siren from under the plastic cowl hoping this would resolve issue.
The problem persists (obviously no siren noise but lights keep flashing), I am concerned that this will kill the new battery. Do these alarms switch off or will it keep going until it kills the power?
I have read various posts about siren batteries leaking and causing false alarms but I assume i have discounted this option.
I am now focusing on the switch sensors in either the boot/doors of glove box. Does anyone have any ideas please. Are these readily available to buy and easy fit or can I simply disconnect them? (not bothered about not having an alarm).
Incidentally, I did call the previous owner who is adamant that he never suffered this problem, I am inclined to believe him as I know for a fact that the car has been parked on his drive for months and the cars battery has not been removed as the bolts were rusted in place.
Thanks in advance for any ideas

The flashing light is probably caused by a damaged CLP/SSM in the trunk under the foam. Rain leaks into the trunk and collects in the well the CLP/SSM is in, the water ruins the unit and all sorts of things happen.
