V8 forever

Hi all,

beeing proud owner of the car since 6 years, I have problems with the alarm now.

The most common problem:
Some time (minutes) after locking the car, the alarm goes off and the lights stay flashing.

It can happen also, that,after locking, the indicator-lights for locking continue flashing with a higher frequenzy

Any hints where to locate the bug ?

If I cannot fix it, I am thinking of deleting the whole alarm system, because I am in no way keen to bring the immaculate low mileage car in for repair....
Any ideas how to delete the alarm-system

Check all the courtesy light switches on your doors are operating properly as if one is not it may trigger the alarm.

It's probably the alarm horn itself- very common.

Thanks so far,

I see 3 wires at the door-switches, are these units just ON/OFF switches or do they have a certain calibration ?
Should I check the hood-switch and trunk-switch too ? Are these ON/OFF or calibrated ?

And where is the alarm-horn located, is it serviceable ?

All the door,bonnet,trunk switches are just on /off pin switches. To find the alarm horn follow the sound when it goes off.

Thank you for the hints towards the alarm-horn.

After removing the horn, locking was back to normal.
I found that it is pretty easy to open the horn and see what I found....

After all ,I think, replacement of the Battery should do the trick....
