I have had my latest Mig for a few weeks now and when i stop the car, switch ign off and open door to get out,
i get three or four chirps. Is this the power sounder?

Yep pull it out and junk it before it flattens your battery, or at worst bursts into flames

I left it at Stansted Airport for a week and it was fine starting etc. when i got back so does it mean that it still
needs removing, also it only chirps occasionally. Or am i clutching at straws

What is the box of death and what causes it

[albitz]

Alarm powersounder. It lives under the plastic wiper scuttle panel on the drivers side.The internal batteries die after a time (indicated by a chirping noise from that area) and the circuit shorts out somehow.The result of this can be the cars wring loom catching fire and then tking the rest of the car with it.There have been several reports (with scary pics to prove it) of this haapening to OOFers cars over the years.

Yes. Remove it before your car bursts into flames in the middle of the night.It only takes 10 minutes.

[The Red Baron]

as above, if its chirping i would remove sharpish. 

[conalnugent]

Is this for all models? Facelift or non facelift etc

[albitz]

Yep.

[conalnugent]

Jezz. Super paranoid now...... whats the powersounder for? And is it easy removed?

[ronnyd]

Is it ok to just disconnect and tape up plug or should anything be totally removed. I have looked at guide but
just want clarification . Just me being a worryguts.

No chirps, but maybe I should think about getting it removed. (I don't do my own work)
