That's odd. I switched my ignition off 2 hours before the battery was disconnected, (5am & the demist fan kept running, no tools so phoned the yardman & asked him to disconnect when he got in @ 7am). The alarm works, the battery held out & the fan is fine now. Cold gremlins? :-?

Suspect your power sounder is in your shed, not in the car ;)

I went to turn down the volume with the wheel control and it done a random station select :o
Ok now the temp is above freezing
