My alarm has decided to go off and not shut off.
I think it may have gotten wet in the rain storms we have been having.
Where is the relay or fuse so I can disable it?
I unhooked the alarm horn but the battery has gone dead. I recharged it and overnight it went dead again. Thanks Steve

You can disable the Alarm System by puling F14 a 16 amp fuze that is locatated at the right rear corner of the engine compartment. The block will be in front of the horn.

The triggers for the alarm system come from:
S62 the hood switch, S17- 13 -14 both door switches, E 18/2 trunk switch and X3 brakes and some have an anti-towing sensor that in located in trunk near left wheel well. I have the prints I can Fax if you wish.

ThanksI will try that.
I think water may have gotten in one of the switches.

Which fuse would be the proper one to remove?

Hmm I was going to post a photo.
There are two fuses which one is F14? Steve

Steve, they both control the Alarm Control. One is for the Control Power and the other is for Lamps and Horn. The one with the Red/Yellow wire is the +12Volts power and the Red/White wire is Lamps and Horn.

don't fix it! Intead, enjoy the chaos! ...with the horn sounding and the headlights flashing, no one is going to get in your way.
