These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anyone know if its possible to disable the factory horn alarm, and just keep the remote lock/unlock function? my boxster is intermittently sounding off for no reason .... can't trace whats causing it. thought it was the sun too hot, but it happens sometimes at nite. Thanks ahead.

POST 2Original post

Having the same issue once in a while. My Durametric shows no faults in the alarm. Can't figure it out, anyone have any insight?

POST 3Original post

Have you checked the airbag frame? The rubber bushings rot and cause intermittent failure. I fixed mine with dense foam rubber, but you can also buy a new one.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

just wanna disable the damn thing .. if theres a way.

POST 5Original post

Yeah there's a way. The alarm horn is in a separate location and I can only assume that if you find it and unplug it it will no longer operate. You're sure it's the alarm horn and not the car horn?

POST 6Original post

Having same issue and thought of removing wires to alarm horn but the lights will still be flashing. Can not figure out what is causing this to happen.

POST 7Original post

I did this for the same reason. Unplug the alarm wire connected to the horn. Took two seconds. Alarm still flashes when activated.

POST 8Original post

Alarm horn is in the battery compartment. Open it up and you can't miss it.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
