A similar problem was resolved for another Ford Ranger owner by replacing and reprogramming the control unit, which had caused broader electrical issues. It is suggested to have the control unit checked and potentially replaced to resolve the alarm system problem.

Hey, thanks for the tip about the control unit. I didn't have anything like that on my radar. Do you remember roughly what you had to pay for it and whether any other problems arose afterwards? I'd like to have a bit of certainty before I go to the garage.

Hey, sure, no problem. The repair of the control unit cost me around €1000 last time - not a lot of money, but it just had to be done. Since then, everything has been running smoothly again, including the alarm system. The error message "communication siren alarm system faulty" is gone and since the visit to the mechanic it hasn't annoyed me any more. It's always good to have a little planning security. Hopefully this has helped you a little.

Super! Then I'll probably have to open my wallet a bit. Thank you for sharing your experiences with me. At least now I have an idea of what to expect and can plan accordingly. I'll definitely report back on how it went in the workshop. See you then!

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2004 Ford Ranger. It was actually a serious problem as my control unit was faulty. It ended up messing up my whole electrical system, including the alarm system. The garage had to replace my control unit and reprogram everything. It took some time, but then everything worked smoothly again. I would recommend having everything checked. A defective control unit should not be underestimated. I hope this helps a little.
