   This alarm has never given me a moment's problem, but if it turns out   
   to be the culprit and whatever the fix is is a PITA, it will also be   
   history, though removing it will be a *real* PITA. Not just because of   
   the gazillions of wires, but because the angle of working there kills   
   the neck!! Would have to remove the front seat to make it easier for   
   such a long job. Or take it to someone, but it would likely be   
   expensive to remove it.
