SAAb 9-5 alarm woes - Alebear
The alarm on my 1999 9-5 estate keeps going off. However, it does not trigger the indicator lights as you would normally expect. Furthermore, I cannot disable the sound, and have to let it run its course - often I choose to disconnect the battery for a while - which I do in the hope of re-booting things.
The local (good) dealer looked at the alarm diagnostics, and saw no trend of any one sensor triggering the alarm frequently -thus concluding that the sensors were not the problem.
Does anyone have an idea of what may be at the root of this? Is there an easy remedy?

I should perhaps state that what I mean by "disabling" is trying to shut up the alarm by pressing unlock on my remote key.
