Alarm going off while tooling down the road

I'm thinking this happened to me before and that it wasn't a big deal, but I don't remember what I did to fix it.

Anyway, came off highway and into downtown on the way to work this morning, and whee!! Siren goes off, the driver door unlocked, the windows quit working, and, well, it was cool to see people kinda staying in their lane while i tooled by with a clear path, but that gets old after, I dunno, about 5 seconds. Unfortunately, the siren was going off for what seemed like a long time. Nothing else to do but continue driving to work. It shut off by the time I got into the parking lot, but of course that meant it comes back on when i turn the key off. Yep, it sure did. I left it to wail until it shut off, locked the door manually, and good enough for now. 12 hours later, manually unlocked, fired up, and no issues (well, the central locking is still disabled, etc.). About when I got into the hood, I made the mistake of hitting one of the window switches. Oh boy. Yep! Siren started a wailing all the way back to the house. Shut it off, waited for the siren to quit, and manually locked the door.

Something in the back of my mind tells me I dealt with this once before, and it was a fuse.

It'll sit until I have a weekend off in a few weeks and can plug the laptop into it. But, In the meantime, if this clicks with anyone??

Were you driving it like you stole it? [sorry, couldn't resist]

No useful ideas. Sorry...

Few things come to mind.

Ignition switch and voltage. Start with voltage, it is easy.

Also the hood switch did that to me with an e36.

Yep, fuse. Fuse #14 blown. General Module. Replace fuse, car happy, civdiv happy.

Perplexed at blown fuse, and it did this to me once before, but as I said it was probably a coupla years ago. Dunno that I'll ever know why this has happened (twice now).

So word up - lose fuse #14 on the roll and you'll be providing amusement to all around.
