Battery/alarm problem
:confused:I am trying to replace the battery on my 986. When I disconnect the negative lead, after about 5 seconds, the alarm sounds for 30 seconds (hell, that thing's loud!). It continues to sound even if I disconnect the positive. I can't find any reference to this anywhere. Is it possible to do something to prevent the alarm activating when changing the battery, or am I just going to have to deafen myself and annoy the neighbours?

someone probably installed an aftermarket alarm in your car. the OEM alarm system is connected to a horn located next to the battery, and doesn't have any alternative power source.

If you can't silence the alarm then put a battery charger on the battery leads and the car should not notice that the battery is out of the car.

Mine has a 2amp setting. That is what has been used for years and many cars. Didn't think about the cheaper versions of chargers.
Nice job JFP. |

Found out that before removing battery leads, put key in ignition and turn to position 1. It works. New battery installed in perfect peace.
