Son called and said several times lately the red light on dash has been flashing indicating the alarm has gone off. Yesterday the alarm went off while car was sitting in driveway so he now knows it is really going off.

He said the alarm signal was "lame". He activated the alarm using the key remote and when he did that the horn joined in.

So,
- alarm goes off on its own
- alarm siren seems to be weak
- horn sounds when alarm activated by remote but not when alarm goes off on its own

Have seen posts about replacing siren if that is what causes the problem. Is there any diagnostics to follow to find other causes? Can I just disable the alarm? Saw posts about pulling a fuse but did not see one that said for sure that does it.
