I scheduled aan airbag recall with my local dealer on my 2001 V70 and wouldn't you know, two days before the appointment, my sunroof stopped working, map lights too and no locks - as in by master switch or even key. Alarm Needs service message popped up.

My little dash red light blinks and the alarm lights go off but in my 7 years owning it, I have never had a siren.
Seems the siren battery leaks and corrodes and breaks the circuit of the sunroof lights and locks, true?

One site said the dealer only can use VIDA to remove the alarm permanently. I asked the dealer and they said the cost was $295 but they could not guarantee the car would accept the software change or if it would resolved the locks and sunroof.

Is the best way to deal just replace the siren/battery? I do not care about a working alarm system on a 22 year old beater with 300k miles bu I cannot have a stuck open sunroof and a car that cannot be locked/unlocked. Alarm siren replace gonna be $500-600

Suggestions?
