can you remove the alarm module and replace the fuse to be able to lock the doors again or do you have to replace the module?

I'm not sure but over night I removed the fuse to stop it going off but it's such an easy job buy a secondhand one from sites
like Ebay and others I bought mine for £30 it takes 10 mins to replace

Disconnect the siren, simple fix.

Ok then the best thing to try is to undo the cowling skirt around wiper arms think there are 6 hex screws then undo the alarm module take it out or leave the wire dangling there not tried it myself but it may allow you to lock car not sure but as I say it's only about £40 off an auction site you must be able to afford that as these cars are real fuel guzzlers

Disconnected everything works as it should just as long it is the siren causing the problem.

You should be able to tell if it's the siren as it sounds distorted sometimes or even as if it's being strangled

When it stopped I started the car but it quickly died. Then it would not turn the starter at all. Saw in another post to remove fuse #9 to disable the domelight, horn and alarm. The light went off, but the horn and the alarm both still worked. Replaced the fob batteries, no help. Had no tools at work so I called a tow truck. He tried to jump it to no avail. At home I found a post and decided t follow the suggestion to take the 10mm to the negative and disconnected and reconnected the battery. I could not start now since the battery was low. Put on the charger for a few minutes and it started .Drove 38 mi to work where it restarted fine. Did not lock the car. 10 hours later it started and drove home fine. I am going to try replacing the siren next. So glad all of you are there to help figure out these issues. The local dealer quoted $8-900 to replace the SKREEM but it seems the siren is the problem from what I have read here in the forum.
I had something like this happen to me with my once..
I changed the batteries but it still never helped. I found a post somewhere on the internet on how to link the fob to the crossfire again... something about inserting the key in the ignition and turning it once and pressing a few buttons...
Did that and it worked
