My son's Saab alarm has suddenly become very sensitive. It seems to go off whenever the wind blows, forcing him to leave his car unlocked all the time. I want to try to just disable the alarm, I'd rather that he lock the doors.

    If the link doesn't work, this is the text:

    "Symptoms: Alarm goes off ~ 45 seconds after closing all doors and activating the alarm and/or excessive battery drain. Interior lights remain ON when interior light switch is placed into timer mode (Position 1) with all doors closed.

    Solution: Check to make sure all sensors/switches that would activate the alarm (doors, hood, trunk, and glass breakage) are operating properly. If you are experiencing all of the issues above, remove the back seat and remove the interior light relay (yellow). If this is defective, it will cause the above problems to occur and will be warm. Replace the relay with a genuine Saab replacement part or OEM replacement from Stribel. To save money, I ordered the OEM replacement and switched the yellow covers so the relay appears to be a genuine Saab part (only difference between the genuine Saab part and the OEM placement is the stamping on the yellow cover)"


  2. In addition to the other answerers response, you can have the anti theft alrm disabled via a diagnostic computer which should be available with your saab dealer. I think it is the immobilizer acting up, this can be disabled as well.
