The alarm on my 98 chim is playing up, the siren has started going off ( for a few seconds at a time ) randomly, driving down the road or stationary alarm on or off, it will sound.
It was good driving down a local by-pass every one moved over.
any ideas I checked the siren for water and connecters in front valance all seem okay ?

Sounds like you might be ready to fit some blue neons to complete the effect.
Water ingress into the siren is the usual cause for your problem - is it mounted with the horn up (excuse me, Vicar!)? If so might be worth removing, gently blow drying and re-installing with the horn down.
Assuming it's a Meta system, besides water ingress, another problem apparently is a discharged battery...now I know that as it goes off while you're driving would mean that the battery current would be ok, but I wonder whether there is a poor connection to the siren, fooling it into 'thinking' that the battery is low...just a thought!
Maybe you could try disconnecting/reconnecting the siren connector a few times to clean up the connector (the siren will sound as its disconnected anyway).

I had my Meta replaced (with a newer Meta) when it decided to sulk (just clocking 20K miles) it may be packing up - hence they'd need to replace the box under the dash. You can disconnect the horn, remove it and stuff it in a towel/sweatshirt until it shuts up - but if you hazards keep flashing tehy need to be disconnected as well - then you have no alarm! So you need a new one!
