Soggy Sounder

[peterzs]

Got fed up with the siren going off as I was driving along, or when the alarm was set.

Get some odd looks, other day, went into a car park, got out the car and set the alarm and off it went. Put the parking ticket on the dash and it was still going.

Guy getting in to the next car gave me a funny look, as I walked away.

Got a garage to sort it last time, £300 + for diagnostics and fitting a new sounder.

Bought a new bracket, back then, that has a kink in it to stop water getting in off the bracket. But was one of those, "things to do".

Got it all off, split the sounder and sure enough water in there. Looks like its worse where the internal battery plugs onto the board. Anyway cleaned it up, new bracket fitted and it all sets and doesnt go off, or not yet any way.

Thats if its still working, I suppose, but long as it doesnt go off randomly I'll be happy.

Mine was randomly going off, dried it for a week and it still went off so ended up buying a new one. On the new one I drilled some holes on the bottom for drainage and also put some extra sealant around the seal to prevent any water getting into it in the first place.
