I should know the answer to this...but I don't. 

My push-button key fob is fubared and I am about to send it off to Martin Imber for repair. In the meantime, I have dug out my non-central locking spare key for its first use. The only problem is that the power sounder goes off every time I open the car door and continues until I start the car. Is there anyway of temporarily switching this off until I get the repaired key back?

I think that's the alarm rather than P/S as mine was the same when the fob depaired itself. I disconnected the alarm horn and have no powersounder anyway.

No, but if you lock the closed driver's door by reaching through the back door, it doesn't arm the alarm.

I reckon I could manage that for a couple of days. 

Thanks Andy!

Me and soldering don't get on too well! 

Besides which, the push buttons are pretty much worn through.

As there are no replacement cases that aren't rock hard, I'd seriously consider a replacement fob.
