Alarm Siren Problems
I have a 2000 2.5 Boxster. It has suffered all the usual Boxster ills, leaking hood, flooded BCC computer, squeaky ball joints etc. All have been fixed over the last 7 years of ownership and I am still in love with it!!!
The latest issue was the alarm kept going off, it double beeped when setting and it would only turn off if the battery was disconnected.
In desperation I took it to a local garage and they diagnosed the alarm siren back up battery was dead causing the the alarm to believe it was being tampered. They solved the problem by disconnecting the siren. It seems that new sirens are no longer available and they pointed out that a second hand one would be likely to have the same weak battery.
So is there any way to replace the back up battery, has anyone tried to do this? I haven't tried to do anything to it yet, in fear of upsetting the rest of the alarm!
