Re: More pesky dead battery woes!

It definitely sounds like the Alarm Siren died and has created a parasitic drain on the primary battery in your car. Click on the YouTube link and scroll to the Alarm repair (first link).
The 2nd link is to a supplier of a replacement Alarm/Siren that will fit and replace the defective one in your car. Scroll down to the mid page and you will see the part. The original part# 171 820 25 26 was installed in our Crossfires, NO longer being manufactured with no existing NOS supply. The "new" alarm/siren # is 219 82 03226 and sells for $144+ taxes & shipping. If you decide to order, use a Mercedes Benz SLK320 as your car, not a Crossfire.
A cheap and easy way to resolve this, is to remove the external electrical connection on the existing alarm, if you disconnect it, it will also eliminate the drain, but no siren will activate, but your security system will function and not affect the Skreem module. Wrap the electrical connection in duct tape to avoid any electrical issues.
Good Luck
