Alarm Siren

Alarm siren wanted.

I have the original and a spare, both 8637399, and both of them are too corroded and I am unable to get them working.

Anyone have a similar one I can take apart and repair? I have already bought the new battery - just need another circuit board.

I have now stripped three and none of them were able to be repaired - they were all too badly burned and even with a bit of solder, wouldn't work.

Surely someone has one spare? Please?

Pm'd you.

This morning I removed the fourth one which also didn't work!

Anyone else got one I can try? Each one I've looked at has been so badly corroded that components are falling off the board.

Good s/h sirens are harder to find than chickens . teeth iv had 5 and none were salvageable . new is the only way to go . they are expensive for what they are . good luck with the search

Simmy over the years I've managed to repair quite a few and avoid paying even more money to Volvo. I don't want to give them £175 for a £4 circuit board, a £2 Nicaed battery, and a lump of plastic!

Why reward them for a poor design? if they had just put the battery below the board in a separate section we wouldn't have the problem.

This time though I can't find one - yet!

I live in hope.

Got any pics of the damage.
Mine was quite badly damaged, but I repaired it.

all the ones I have had were totalled by the corrosive acid jam that leaks from the batteries

Mines gone aswell! Has anyone had the alarm deleted by Volvo and doing away with it completely?

My local Volvo maindealer has a software to remove it for £95. But wondered if anyone has done it? And if it effects insurance etc?
