Suffering problems with alarm going off willy nilly and tried the usual bonnet catch tweak. It looks like its the old power sounder battery problem. From a previous post it would appear that the alarm system will still work without the power sounder in place but at the expense of battery removal protection, not bothered about that!

Question is , is there any special sequence of events in removing the sounder. Do you simply disarm the alarm via keyfob, take off scuttle and unplug/unbolt or is there anything else that needs doing.

Any advice re removal of this would be appreciated, take on board that the unit may activate and a set of ear plugs would be useful!!

thanks in advance

Begin with ignition turned on.....then, switch off ignition, then quickly (within 30 seconds) disconnect negative 12 volt battery terminal (it might be helpful to slightly loosen the clamp bolt before beginning the process).

The power sounder may safely then be disconnected (removing the driver`s side wiper arm is helpful in freeing up the scuttle) and the sounder removed or replaced with a new one (if you wish)......complete the job by reconnecting the battery.

You may need your radio security code (from the car-pass) to restore it`s function following battery disconnection; though I didn`t need to when I removed my power-sounder.
