Just as if by magic last night the car alarm set its self of six times
untill i took out the fuse for the siren. this was all the AA man did when
he came to check it the next day. was hoping that someone may have had the
same problem or know what the sollution is cause as soon as i put the fuse
back it it will probably set its self off in time!!!

Last winter I suffered a spate of alarm activations on my 2001 S60 which I
eventually discovered were being caused by a 'money' spider who had taken up
residence in the sensor adjacent to the rear view mirror housing (motion
sensor?).

Once I managed to persuade the little varmint to come out of hiding and
enjoy life (of the very flat variety!) elsewhere, the neighbours soon
resumed the former cordial friendliness.

The siren is @ fault & needs to be replaced if your car has less then
50K miles & is not past 4 Years of the delivery date then this repair is
under warranty if you are out then the total cost of the siren & the
labor comes out of your pocket
