Backup batteries in the power sounder about to go pop  :(
Its located under the windscreen plastic scuttle (drivers side)
Remove the wipers (13mm nut) and a small torx screw on the left hand side.
You might have some tiny clips under the rubber seal to undo.
Get your hand in there and just unplug it and tape up the plug so water doesn't get in the end  :y

What is power sounder? Back up batteries?
I just looked in owners manual, nothing there.
I would look in service manual, which chapter? Electrical system?
Thanks.

Its a self contained alarm, in event the main car battery is disconnected. It contains its own batteries which over time, corrode and short, in number of cases have caused the car to go up in flames.

Not helped by the fact its not fused....
