The 4 beeps can only occur IF the PS has enough power left in its batteries.

If the batteries are failing (common occurence) and not holding charge the beeps won't happen .. BUT the batteries will still contain the acid gel that now eats through the skin then shorts out the terminals.

The main battery (80+ amphour) will then try and "charge" the shorted terminals. 80 amphour discharge over 60 minutes .... equals about 80 amps .. watts = volts x amps so 960 watts ...  This causes heat (enough to boil a kettle ??) followed by fire.

If you are lucky the unfused wire might just fail instead .... but it might not ....  your choice.

When mine failed it only gave the beeps for 3 days (tue, wed, thur) before going very quiet. It was changed that weekend.

About removing the wipers: The combination of these 2 tips makes it an easy job for me: Andy B:"There is a puller specifically for the job" and Nick W: "it's been easier to bend the arm at the pivot and wiggle it loose. That way you're not fighting the spring that's designed to hold the blade against the spring." And make sure you keep the puller carefully centred on the bolt.
Also, if you just want to disconnect the power sounder, you can remove only one wiper blade and carefully hold back the plastic scuttle to do it. But if you want to take it out, it's easier to remove both wiper blades and get the scuttle out of the way. You might want to use some tape on the windscreen to mark the position of the wipers to so you can get them back in the right place afterwards.
