2004 means L322 so RF receiver not relevant I think. Final stage resistor on the HEVAC or HID lights seem to be the most reported problems.

I have the same problem on my 2002 4.0l hse. The local garage checked everything, talked to so called 'specialists' and the only fix they can come up with is TRY changing the alarm...I'm guessing this will cost me about £300 in the hope it'll fix it! As it's cost me a fortune in the last couple of months on other things I'm just gonna live with it for the time being and make sure I use it every other day at least. Presently I think the batt will last about 4 days.
