Title: Backup Alarm Battery Module
Post by: tunnie on 19 December 2006, 12:07:40
Right,

Going to tackle this today, going to make a How2 at the same time i think as well.

Now i know its located under the drivers side scuttle drain, but not too sure what it looks like? Someone posted up a piccy of its location some time ago but can't find it.

I plan just to disconnect it  ;)

Can anyone can give any pointers on what it looks like? - To disconnect does it have a loom connector i can just unplug or do wires have to be cut?  :-[

Thanks

yes it's under driver's side scuttle, it's a small black box 4'' square or there abouts, one bolt on the top holding on and one connector that pulls off easily enough, would suggest removing the scutttle though as trying to lift and slide sounder out will probably brake the scuttle panel as I found out!!
Cheers Pete

quick question guys, got the bonnet up and located the little git.... will unplugging it sound the siren? Steve says it will but did it also go off for you STNO, cruiser???

I only ask because my dad is on a conference call, and does not want to be annoyed by my siren going off

Yes.

Unless you read your manual on how to disconnect battery (same applies). ie, ignition on then off, and disconnect siren within 15s.

Finally got the thing off  ;D

I was undoing the nut that held it on to get better access to disconnect it. It randomly went off when i was undoing the nut, silenced it then got it off. When i actually went to unplug it it started to sound but stoped almost instantly.

No more beep beep beep now  ;D

There was no need to worry about disconnecting the battery or anything. The small batteries inside were exhausted, thats why it was beeping. One pathetic squawk and its dead ;D
