Volvo V70 alarm problem
Had the car nearly 2 years and never even heard the alarm until I got in from work earlier - now it keeps going off.
i've tried re-starting the car, opening and closing all doors but it still keeps activating after a short while - lasted about 10 mins just now from being locked? any suggestions/ideas? it's quite loud! thanks in advance |

yes. the battery inside the alarm has broken down and died, you can cut open the alarm and replace the battery £6.90, or replace the whole unit at a cost of £177 at volvo

ok is there a way of disabling the siren in the meantime or do I need to lock the car with a key until its fixed? |

You can pull the fuse, if a v70 is the same as xc70 it's fuse 8 I believe hidden under the steering wheel and above the pedals. You just need a torx driver and double joints to get to it. It may knock out the sunroof if you have one. Have a good read of the other threads to get a better idea of your problem.

Try dropping the bonnet a bit harder than normal, it's worked for some.

Try setting reduced guard mode which will disable the interior and vibration sensors. Another source of problems is the connections to the glass-break elements in the windows either side of the boot. |
