4 peeps from Astra bonnet?

[Pete Stephens]

Anyone know where the battery is located for powersounder on new style Astra alarm system? About 4 or 5 seconds after turning the ignition off I get 4 loud 'peeps' from under the bonnet which I am told is the alarm system charging it's own battery which is near it's end of life?

Cheers,

Pete

The battery is built into the power sounder (nsf wheel arch). You need a new one and as it needs to be coded using your car security code it is really a dealer job. Ring round for quotes though.

Thanks for the info, I believed the sounder was under the wheelarch but the peeping sound seems to come from the upper bulkhead section on the passenger side so I hoped it may be remote from the sounder.
