Most likely the Siren Module needs to be changed. Look at the following tread to learn more about it.The module can be ordered online if you want to change it.

The battery inside becomes defective overtime and it corrodes the circuit board. The module isn't built to be opened for battery replacement. Some had success in "hacking it" to replace the battery.
