Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / April 2005605 alarm - how to disconnect the battery?
OK, I give up. How do I disconnect the battery from my 605 without setting off the alarm? The last time I took the car in for repair to an independent garage, THEY phoned ME to ask how to do this...I told them I had no idea. I spoke to them today to ask what they finally did and they told me that they just unbolted the alarm and buried the screeching thing under a pile of blankets outside the workshop until its internal bettery ran down.... which took nearly 24 hours. Not the sort of thing I can do at home if I am to live at peace with the neighbours. There's a simple answer....which is? Hi Depends what alarm system it has fitted. If we are talking standard factory fit alarms then, The early ones have a key switch to shut the siren up, Either under the bonnet or in the boot. Some use the igntion key, Others have a special key. The later ones need an alarm control button pressing down inside on the dash & the igntion key turned in a certain order before removing the battery. Ask your friendly Peugeot dealer if possible. > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Ask your friendly Peugeot dealer if possible. key switch is inside the boot although the siren should only cycle 3 times before shutting down if its internal batteries are ok My key switch is under the bonnet, next to the O/S headlight. Unfortunately, the key given to me by the previous owner does not fit the lock. I have spoken to a number of Peugeot dealers in the local area and none can offer any help - they all say that the alram will go off when I disconnect the battery and I simply have to wait until the internal battery in the alarm runs down. One actually said to unbolt the claxon, take it off the car and stuff it under a pile of blankets in the middle of a field for a couple of hours... not one of them said the alarm would quickly die out, all implied it would be a looooooooong wait and a lot of noise..... >>Hi >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > key switch is inside the boot although the siren should only cycle 3 times > before shutting down if its internal batteries are ok |
