Hi,

Putting my question here up front:
For the past few weeks my Xfire's lights have occasionally started to flash some time after the car has been turned off and locked in front of my house. I have been able to use the key to reset that situation.

Now the alarm siren has also started to randomly go off, but without flashing lights. Key has also worked to turn off alarm, though tonight there was one instance where it didn't immediately reset the alarm. After three siren soundings tonight my temporary solution was to disconnect the battery's ground cable.

I've just spent the last hour reading the multitude of threads on this topic and am prepared to temporarily disable the alarm siren, while deciding whether to spend $150 for a new siren. (Or possibly replacing its battery/batteries.)

However, I'd really like to know whether the board in the siren module also controls the flashing lights.

FWIW Car is in California where it's been dry for many weeks, so I doubt that there's a water problem.

Thanks

 

The alarm does NOT control the lights.

 

By the siren going off ,it is triggering the lights to flash as well. Its another action of the security system. Disconnect the siren an the lights will still go off. If its not a bad CLP/SSB , it should pose no problem an show the system is being armed.

 

Thanks for the replies.

I successfully removed the alarm siren using the detailed instructions found in Factory Alarm Chirp Solved Read 4, Post 253613 by NJCrossfire05, but you should keep reading later posts, as there are corrections and tips in subsequent ones.

 

So what should i do if my siren dont goes off, but my lights do? They are sucking out the energy of my battery.

Is there no way i can remove the siren and an other part of the alarm module to stop the flashing lights?

 

I know this is an old thread, but I thought I share my experience.

I decided to remove my siren because of occasional after drive hazard flashing and after testing that the alarm didn't make a sound when triggered, but the hazards did flash. All and all, no flashings after removing the siren a week ago, fingers crossed.

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.

 

 

Thanks for your kind words

I was actually planning on pulling the foams and side panels in the trunk someday just to be safe, but the paper method you suggested sounds hell of a lot easier as a cautionary measure. Although I must do it after a drive, cause its winter and all I would find otherwise would be ice
