SL 55 amg
alarm goes off when locking the car

I have a 2004 SL 55 AMG and over the last month, when the car is locked the alarm goes off. It was reviewed in the dealership and they suggested the wires are corroded as water got in at the trunk back reflector. Repair costs would be $1400USD. Is there a way of bypassing, removing the appropriate fuse, removing the alarm. If the alarm is removed, will the lights still flash?

nope the alarm is probably going off because the siren battery in the front fender is corroded. Review some post on this forum. It is a common problem and a cheap fix. About $120 for the part.
