On my 2001 facelift 3.2 V6 Elite the alarm gives three bleeps sometimes as I turn off.

From the drivers seat it sounds as if this comes from under the bonnet, near the firewall on the off-side.

I've had a poke around there this morning but can't see anything like a bleeper or alarm control box to investigate.

Can anyone direct me to where this is?

I'm thinking that the internal back up battery (assuming there is one) has died through age - does that sound a fair guess?

Thanks, Steve

Will be your powersounder, located under the scuttle on the o/s (drivers side).

There is a HowTo here although it's to remove it, but it will direct you to the right place

Thnank you Lee,

Just had a look, but have got stuck at the spline stage.  Will be asking around at work for a 'puller' tomorrow.

Hopefully its 'only' the internal battery that died - does that sound reasonable?  And can I get one from somewhere like CPC?

Trick with wiper is to wiggle it at its hingepoint.

Officially, battery not replaceable.  It is doable, but unit is sealed, and batteries seem to be hard to get hold of.
