Hopefully not a wild goose chase but I remember well testing the emergency lock every now and again and the alarm going off. Then had to get the key in the socket & turn ASAP to keep SWMBO happy.

The alarm box? In the spare room/man cave. By alarm I mean horn as I'd removed the squawk box and it then defaults to the horn. Re fuse no idea. It's now in a bag of mixed fuses pulled from the car when she died.
This is what I took out, now sold in the Great Dark Parts Sell Off.

PS I was going to say lock the car with the driver's window open, leave it a few mins and put your arm in and see if the alarm goes off but I'm not sure if the IR sensors would be activated with just pressing the lock button on the dash.

That Volvo is just a siren/battery.
The alarm works fine with it disconnected

Yep, reverts to the horn and peeps can actually hear it.
No idea where the actual alarm "brain" is, I don't think I got that far stripping her down.
