ALL MODELS
NOTE
Siren may not function properly when first installed. Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries discharge fairly rapidly when stored. They will lose as much as 1%-2% of their charge per day, and after a few months of storage at room temperature will be mostly discharged. If stored for a very long period without charging, they may need a few charging cycles to regain their full capacity.
To charge NiMH battery, operate vehicle for a minimum of four hours.
Siren Diagnostics
NOTE
Some models do not support chirpless mode. Reference owner's manual to verify support.
  • If siren is armed and internal siren battery is dead, shorted, disconnected, or has been charging for a period longer than 24 hours, siren will respond with three chirps on arming instead of two.
  • Internal siren battery may not charge if vehicle's charging system is producing less than 12.5 volts.
  • If siren does not chirp two or three times on a valid arming command from security system, siren is either in chirpless mode, not connected, not working, or siren wiring was opened or shorted while siren was disarmed.
  • If siren enters self-driven mode where it is powered from siren's internal 9 volt battery, turn signal lamps may or may not alternately flash. If security system activates siren, turn signal lamps will alternately flash. If siren has been armed and a security event occurs, and siren is in self-driven mode, siren will alarm for 20-30 seconds and then turn off for 5-10 seconds. This alarm cycle will be repeated ten times if siren is in self-driven mode.
Smart Siren Battery Replacement
Siren's internal 9-volt battery is rechargeable and does not need to be replaced on a regular basis. Battery life under normal conditions is approximately three to six years.
NOTE
When battery replacement is needed, only a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) 9 volt battery should be used in the siren. These are widely available at local battery outlets.
To Replace the Battery:
  1. See POWER DISCONNECT in service manual and follow instructions to prevent security module from actuating siren.
  2. Remove siren box from vehicle. See siren installation procedures for your model in this instruction sheet.
  3. Open battery cover by inserting a flat-blade screwdriver into one of the slots on side of siren box. Press until one corner of cover pops up slightly.
  4. Insert screwdriver into second slot, and press until cover pops open. Remove cover and gasket.
  5. Remove old battery from siren box, and gently unfasten snap connector from battery. Save grease coating terminals.
  6. Coat terminals of snap connector and new NiMH nine-volt battery completely with grease from old connection.
  7. NOTE
    If not enough lubricant remains to completely cover the terminals, Electrical Contact Lubricant (H-D Part No. 99861-02) is compatible, and is available from a Harley-Davidson dealer
  8. Snap connector onto new battery, and install battery into siren box.
  9. Set siren box on a work surface with battery opening facing up. Position gasket and battery cover onto siren box with rounded corners facing out.
  10. Press cover down onto siren box and press tabs in with screwdriver until tabs snap into slots in box.
  11. Install siren box into vehicle.
  12. Dispose of old NiMH battery in accordance with local regulations.
