Just unplug it ...... then electrically it can't see when the bonnet is open

Normaly when the batteries inside have had their day they begin to leak all over the circuit board inside the power sounder and also you know when they are failing as they go,,,,chirp....chirp when you set the alarm....also the alarm goes off at random due to the battery acid shorting the cicuit board out,,,,,so instead of you car catching fire it is best to disconnect the unit,,,very common fault on omegas,,,,,,safer that way :y :y

Dumped power sounder months ago..... Looks like it was the Bonnet switch playing up :y

So:
a) fix the switch or bracket (they bend sometimes)
or
b) leave disconnected
