the alarm siren box has an internal lithium battery that has failed

get w new alarm siren box from the dealer
used ones have old batteries

the front fender liner must be removed

here are some pictures to disconnect the siren

Super easy fix, you just need a new siren unit. I found mine on Amazon for $140.

Remove front right wheel, remove fender liner.
The alarm will be tucked in back there, undo bracket that holds it in and replace.

I did find that my replacement alarm didn't have a mounting stud on the back like factory unit did. So I had to scrounge up a small bolt to attach the new alarm to the bracket. Keep this in mind when you start in case you have to run to a hardware store.
