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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Outcome without a verified action link

I've not fixed the drain as I've been busy and (tbh) it hasn't gone off since I replaced the battery so I was kind of pretending it didn't exist.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all Last night... (always the worst times) my alarm went off. I went outside and opened the car and put key in ignition. Lights / electrics went haywire and it looked like battery was likely flat. I left it on charge trickle over night and it didn't charge beyond 25%.. previously it has gone to 100% in that time. I've changed the battery so time will tell. I have two questions hopefully someone can answer. 1 is rain water meant to run off down into battery area, I see the drain holes but surely moisture will effect the wires in that area? Whilst charging old battery I noticed a low buzzz coming from the alarm horn to left of battery.. is that normal or could that be a drain? Thanks Luke

Yep that's where the water goes. Lots of it. That's why it's essential to keep those drains clear. Mine were blocked and water filled my brake servo so I had all 4 brakes seizing at the same time but intermittently. The alarm may be buzzing until you get a proper charge back into the system. It has its own battery which may have gotten low due to sounding the siren. Just check it when everything's back up and running. You'll need your radio code too. :thumb:

POST 5Original post

After replacing my battery around 18 months ago, I woke up at 4am this morning to the dreaded sound of the alarm waking up the entire street. Now, I'm pretty used to this as it was a regular occurance but it hasn't happened for a while. What a fright! I've not fixed the drain as I've been busy and (tbh) it hasn't gone off since I replaced the battery so I was kind of pretending it didn't exist. I'm fairly sure mine's down to an old tracker which still uses up charge - I need to trace that. Have you had one fitted? May be worth investing in a solar charger as that may also be why I've not had this happen in a long while My alarm doesn't buzz when it's on charge.
