Questionthe alarm in my car (memrcury sable wagon) 1997 go off without reason several times in the last 4-5 days. it stopped sounding when i open the door. sometime even it stoped by itself before i reached the car.
i'm broke now :-(, so is there any temporary solution before i can afford to go to have it repaired. is there any fuse that i can take out or wires that i can disconnect to deactivate the alarm, or some thing. bottom line, i want a temporary solution without spending money at all.
all suggestion are greatly appreciated,
thanks

Reason For This Program:
Battery contact corrosion inside the small rectangular shaped Ford Remote Keyless Entry System transmitters (with your vehicle's keys) may cause the system to operate intermittently and possibly result in unnecessary battery replacement.
