Alarm siren sounding off randomly S60 2004

I have done some research on the alarm sounding off randomly on my 2004 S 60 and have heard several ideas on the location of the siren and possible causes. I had the dealer run a diagnostic on the vehicle and the report is "needs alarm siren". Can anyone tell me the location of the alarm siren module on the car and whether this module is indeed repairable? (I have heard that it randomly sounds off when battery gets low and dealer claims that the unit is a throw away - no replaceable battery) .

Dealer wants $390 - no way - I would rather replace myself or disable it. Thanks for any resources on the S60 Alarm siren R/R or quiok fixes or disconnect.

Dealer advised that disabling the alarm would cost $180. Owners manual states that a single 5 amp fuse controls the alarm siren AND if it is pulled, Alarm will sound continuously. This is FALSE - I removed the fuse from position 38 on the fuse block, and the problem is solved! No other issues with the car.

The siren is under the passenger side front fender, forward of the wheel. Not a great place for access.

There are a few write ups over on Volvospeed.com if I remember correctly. Try using their not so good search engine.
