    On a 355, the alarm siren keeps going off. The first time, pressing the button for 3 seconds cured it...for a while. Now it does it all the time. Car starts and runs. Not a cloned fob afaik. Read Robb's long thread (great info) but can't seem to find a cure for this one. Can the siren just be disconnected without other problems?

    Could be the battery in the alarm circuit going bad and shorting things.

    Tilt sensors go bad and do that.

    Thank you! Is continuity positive thru sensor unplugged if it's bad?

    I have no idea and it would be inconsistent in any case. It is not a switch. It records the attitude when set and looks for a change in attitude.

    SD1 or 2 will show a history of alarm events and what triggered them.
