Hi all me again. >:(. Has anyone noticed a buzzing noise when you switch engine off.? It stopped once I pull the key out of ignition. Thing is I've not noticed it before and now my bloody battery is flat?????? :-\ The noise is like a buzzing bleep that sounds like its being strangled..
-
where from? just under the driver side wiper? if so then it is the power sounder = solution is remove it
-
.........or is it the buzzer that tells you that you've left the key in the ignition when you open the door. :-\
-
Fuel rail pressurising?
-
It's only when I switch ignition off. Doors r closed but noise stops when I remove the key?
-
What is a power sounder? Is it something shorting out? A fire risk ?.. :-\

It sounds like the noise when I've opened the door with key in ignition BUT the door is still closed. ???

Could it be a faulty door switch? Sounds like the sensor thinks the door is open. :-\ Might be worth opening the drivers door with the key in ignition as normal and pressing the door switch in by hand/foot to see if it stops. :y

Thanks mate will look at that. Would that course my battery to go flat Evan tho door is locked and no interior light on? :y

undo wipers(13mm nut) rock base of wiper to losen it then ondo star drive nut(drivers side)
carefully lift windscreen rubber at base of plastic trim and undo-remove clips(flat scewdriver)
Remove rubber draught excluder then you can lift plastic panel out of way
Power sounder is black plastic box on drivers side (10mm nut) undo/unplug and throw in bin
hope that helps -can do that in 20 minutes(done loads)

Thanks lads I will crack on with that today as got day off :y.. She's been in the garage 3 times in last 6 months I can't afford anymore... Thanks :y

Please do be aware that as soon as you bin your Powersounder, unless you replace it your Insurance will be invalid, as effectively your cars alarm system no longer complies with the relevant Thatcham rating it had when you Insured it! :(
-
Thanks mate. I've disconnected powersounder so will see how I get on. Not throwing it just in case that's not the prob. Will put a new battery on today .

If your power sounder hasn't gone off when you removed it, it's duff anyway
-
Dont forget to tape up remaining plug or socket.
-
No the power sounder never made a noise. Taped up the plug and tucked it away. My interior light won't go out now so I've got some gremlins. :(
-
dodgy door light switch can do that :y as can headlight switch :y
