Is anyone able to walk me through the correct sequence for disconnecting the various wires to avoid deafness, and then for reconnecting them to avoid death?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I need to bring the battery indoors for a deep charge (no power at garage). Since I last did this, I have had audio work done, and two new auxiliary leads have been connected, one to each battery terminal (see photo). Result: when I disconnect the negative terminal, the alarm sounds. Is anyone able to walk me through the correct sequence for disconnecting the various wires to avoid deafness, and then for reconnecting them to avoid death? Thanks!

Key in and turn ignition to position 1, then disconnect earth. Same for reattaching. MC

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks MisterCorn. I knew that, but managed to forget it in the last 12 months and focussed on the new wiring. Such a key tip, and nothing about it in the manual. Same for the bonnet release wire under the left rear light fitting. That's why this forum's a life saver, I guess.
