Open it up and transplant a new battery in , worth a try if it's not waterlogged and rusted inside.

One option is just to un plug it , some owners of older MB's take this route.

I didn't say it was old just that some people who own older cars realise that the chance of it being stolen is low ,or the fact that no one pays any attention to car alarms these days might be a good enough reason not to bother with the alarm.

Does beg the question why did the siren fail on such a 'new' MB . What's next ?

Its possible the horn horn you hear ,not the alarm siren.

 

[GARYSJ]

Ah,ok .I misunderstood.Thought they were one and the same

The alarm siren is a different sound to the car horns.

PS . that little 'parp' when locking a car is very frucking annoying....just my opinion of course

Not just your opinion Pete; I enabled it on mine and promptly disabled it, never to be heard again.
Not sure why it's necessary anyway. I always check a door handle to make sure the thing is locked up. Maybe that's just me
