No other issues on this 29,000 mile car.

The lights always flash when I unlock or lock the doors with the fob.

No leaks from the spoiler area that I know of.

I believe that I will attempt to remove the cowl and disconnect the alarm battery (no wonder the alarm went off with no positive cable attached to the main battery). I was wondering how to remove the wipers then I thought about using my faucet handle puller, which has a weight on a shaft that kind of thumps the handles off.
