I hear when I take my key out? 4 or 5 beeps in quick succession before I've even got out the car and locked it.. Impossible to describe the pitch of the noise in words but sounds like a bird chirping I spose....
-
Power sounder batteries on their last legs. Remove it. Sooner than later... :y
-
So more than just pulling a fuse out then? Where does it live and what's the method of disconnecting it?

Sod it... I took the scuttle off the other week to reseal it to save new dis pack getting wet.. Looking at the " how to" why ( after disconnecting power sounder) would I need to refit it? Cant I sling it in the bin?

Very well documented on here.
Remove and dispose of, before,it bursts into flames.

You can disconnect & remove the PS without completly removing the scuttle. I did one on the silver 3.2 last week .
I removed drivers side wiper arm , the one torx screw on drivers side & the first 2 or 3 scuttle clips on that side.
Scuttle will then lift enough to be able to get to the 10mm nut that holds the PS in place. Just undo it a few turns & the it
will lift off upwards & out. ( I did not try to fit a replacement PS with this method though as only removed mine)
Disconnect electrical connector & wrap with insulation tape if you are not fitting a new one .
As for the old PS . . . Don't just bin it . . . see maintenance guide as to why ;) ;) HTH
If you go to the Wycombe meet on Saturday . . . no doubt someone will remove it for you . . even if it's me ;D ;D
EDIT: Ah . . just noticed . . . unlikely you will be going to Wycombe as you live in North Wales ::) ::)

Looked in maintenance guides and can't see why I can't just bin it when its out?...

When I did mine I took it out put it in a bucket of water until it stopped churping I then put it in the bin. :y

So you drowned it then? 😆

Taxi Al did mine....he took it to a quiet spot and executed it with a very large club hammer ....very nasty!! :o ;D
-
I shall dig a big hole with my loading shovel and bury it very deep ;D
-
Cut open and see how much the batteries have leaked, :)
-
Might just do that

Power sounder is now out... The alarm went off as soon as I grabbed hold of the cable connection to part it....

So much corrosion inside it I'm surprised it worked at all...

YZ250 did all three of mine at Wycombe....they never chirped as he disconnected the power :y

Mine didn't chirp either.. The alarm went off while I was jiggling the connection.

If you unplug it with the key in the ignition it doesn't see it as unauthorised access so doesn't sound the alarm. :y
Still, it's off now so a bit late with that imformation. ;D

Excuse the ignorance on this, especially as I was there when you did mine :-[ but for future reference, do you just put the key in, or do you have to switch it on :)

Only went off for a few seconds.... Did startle me a bit as my head was a couple of inches away. 😆

When you are ready to unplug the powersounder, turn the ignition on so that the dash lights come on, turn ignition off and unplug the powersounder. Think you get about fifteen seconds before the vehicle thinks it's being tampered with. No need to touch main battery terminals, although method shown by BIGtime is correct for main battery removal, there is no need to remove the terminals in this instance. :y

Thankyou Alan :y
