Where is the alarm siren module on the 955!? Lights keep flashing when locking/unlock
I recently picked up an older 2004 Cayenne S. One problem I noticed right away was with the alarm. Whenever I lock or unlock the doors, the hazard lights start to flash for a random amount of time. Sometimes it will do it immediately upon locking, other times 5-10 seconds after. Sometimes the lights will start flashing 20 minutes later randomly for no reason and then shut off. Sometimes as soon as pickup the key from the wall in the garage, they will flash.
Pushing the lock/unlock button on the remote doesn't shutoff the flashing lights nor does getting in the SUV send starting it with the key.
I read that this was a problem with the alarm siren module on the 958 Cayenne but didn't find anything about this happening on the 955.
I figured it would be worth a shot trying to replace the alarm/siren module since it wasnt too expensive and seemed like a likely culprit. I ordered the alarm module and went to install it tonight but was surprised when it wasn't in it's usual location. On the 955, it's normally underneath of the fuse box on the driver's side (should be part number 95561823702) but instead I found 95563711702 in it's spot. Part # 11702 is a circular metal horn with a wire going into it.
I called two Porsche dealerships with my VIN # and they said that my VIN # shows that I have both alarm modules/horns on my Cayenne (95561823702 and 95563711702).
None of their diagrams show the location of part number 95561823702 though?
Can anyone with access to a service manual or knowledge on this year Cayenne please let me know where this module offset located?
Just updating this post in case anyone in the future has this problem. The service manual shows exactly the same thing that I found in my Cayenne. A metal circular horn located underneath of the fuse box on the driver's side. The service manual makes no mention of the other part being anywhere in the vehicle. However, two different dealerships that I talked with are insistent that I have both pieces in my Cayenne going off the the VIN # and database but no one knows exactly where it's located.
