Alarm Backup Battery Sounder wont turn off!
Just yesterday in early morning the backup battery sounder started sounding. Car had been sitting for many hours in the same spot.
I went out unlocked car with the fob and it would not turn off. Car started fine. Locked fine but could not get it to go off.
Luckily was at home when this happened and so I got out some spanners and removed the negative terminal and it stopped.
Went back to sleep.
Then at a nice time of day I spent an afternoon reading the manual and testing but could not get it to reset.
Only way to stop it was to remove -ve terminal.
All the switches on doors etc all all working fine the alarm responded fine to all imputs I could think of and test. No neighbours complained. I moved it down the street to reduce the noise.
So I needed to drive the car today so yesterday I decided to pull out the BBS. Had to find it first. Took off LH headlight and after trial and effort found it located up behind the headlight and unplugged it and removed it.
connected the -ve did the turn key etc and disarmed it as mentioned in manual before disconnecting -ve and removing.
But as I tried to remove it without battery connected it decided it was going to scream as I pulled this gremlin filled heart from the alarm. Undid the loom it was still screaming. Wrapped it in a towel and cleaned it and it stopped never to scream again.
So it maybe at fault or the loom maybe at fault. In the past it would go off when you try to disconnect battery without the key method or your battery is going low or the connection on the terminal is not good.
This was a new fault out of the blue. Anyone else had this happen? I am thinking of putting a diagnostic tester and see if any errors are recorded which it may be responding to. Or it will just stay out for now. Car runs fine.
Maybe should also test the loom it is connected to for signals and voltages.
Any ideas on how to proceed?
