Hi,
My central locking has a very loud 'beep' noise when i lock/unlock, where may i be able to find the part that
handles the beeping & when i find it, is it just a case of unplugging the wires?
Thanks.
-
Well it is not factory and sounds like something has been added, find the unit and cut the wire.

Will it just look like this: http://www.autoectech.com/auto%20accessories/car%20horn/horn.jpg

Unplug it and if the central locking looking still works leave it be.

Ok, will have a look. Cheers.

Ok, so located the beeping which was coming from under the bonnet & i think it's the bell shaped object in the photo below.
It has 2 wires coming from it, what now? if i disconnect it, wont they disable the alarm too?

Well that alarm is not factory, yes if you disconnect it then it might not work but it is the only way to stop it beeping.
-
Guess i'll be sticking with it then. it's not /that/ bad i guess.

The beeping is the alarm arming itself 2 beeps armed 1 beep disarmed,no beeps no alarm my clifford alarm did it on my scoob at least you know it works!But on mine you can adjust the loudness of alarm and sensitivity in the alarm box/bell its a little volume switch.
-
Yeah. Its supposed to do that. And if you cut them, then obviously it wont make a noise when someone breaks into your car.
And i reckon that it could have a battery back up in the siren, and cutting the wires could set it off!

very true :grin:

Pretty sure there's not one on my alarm bell so must be on the box, wherever that may be.

Be careful, don't just cut the wires it will set the alarm off. If the alarm is any good it will assume that it's being broken into; the siren has it's own power supply and it will carry on going off in 20 minute bursts. Find out what system you've got, you'll then be able to program the beeps to off, you can do this on mine which is a Laserline system.

Find the make and model of the alarm.
You can download manuals fromthe manufacturer on the internet,
its usually a driver door open and bonnet open system to access the menu on alarms anyhow.
Look for the main box which will usually be found unter the dash somewhere, tucked up inside or somewhere unsuspecting if done well, I mean the keyfob sometimes gives it away on make, just its model dependant sometimes.
DONT cut the wires to the siren, or there really is no point of having an alarm at all, it will stop people stealing it with the immobiliser but when noone hears them robbing you blind of your headunit and car possesions thats when its regrettable!
Volume is adjustable on sounders etc as mentioned above
Hope this helps mate
