Default Re: Does Alarm Siren Also Control Flashing Lights?

Today I decided to split up the siren to see wether the batteries had leaked and yes, very much so.


Alarm siren splitted open

I have no use for the alarm and actually I prefer not to have one anyway. Just hoping this will resolve the hazard flashing problem once and for all, so it would be a win-win situation.
Hi, I would check to see if the pump in the trunk under the mat has water in the well it sits in, you can do so by sliding some paper down the side of the foam block which covers the pump. You seem to be OK but there is no harm in looking for water, it could save you money if the water is low and you repair the leak.
I am always amazed that people from other countries have such an excellent grasp of English, I envy you your ability. Very few Canadian born people speak any other language than English or French. The thinking is why learn another language when others speak it so well and if they do not they should learn it ASAP.
