605 alarm - how to disconnect the battery?

Apr 18, 2005 3 Replies

OK, I give up. How do I disconnect the battery from my 605 without setting off the alarm? The last time I took the car in for repair to an independent garage, THEY phoned ME to ask how to do this...I told them I had no idea. I spoke to them today to ask what they finally did and they told me that they just unbolted the alarm and buried the screeching thing under a pile of blankets outside the workshop until its internal bettery ran down.... which took nearly 24 hours. Not the sort of thing I can do at home if I am to live at peace with the neighbours. There's a simple answer....which is?



Hi

Depends what alarm system it has fitted. If we are talking standard factory fit alarms then,

The early ones have a key switch to shut the siren up, Either under the bonnet or in the boot. Some use the igntion key, Others have a special key.

The later ones need an alarm control button pressing down inside on the dash & the igntion key turned in a certain order before removing the battery.

Ask your friendly Peugeot dealer if possible.

key switch is inside the boot although the siren should only cycle 3 times before shutting down if its internal batteries are ok
