FiftyOne Bronze Donating Members 1,145 Member For: 11y 10m 2d Gender: Male Posted 20/05/18 04:14 AM Share Posted 20/05/18 04:14 AM I think B series utes have some sort of security system that is different from the sedans? I have a siren in the engine bay which has its own internal battery, which appears to be well and truly beyond it's use by. When I disconnect the main battery the alarm goes off and lets out the saddest wail for about 10 seconds before dying. I think? that the battery is slowly draining the main battery, if not its definitely not doing the rest of the electrical system any favors. Just wondering if anyone knows of any similar thing happening for them?

All my previous cars had aftermarket alarm systems and the saddest wail sounds very familiar.

As far as I can tell it's factory fitted, but I'm not sure Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93935-battery-issue-with-ute-security-system/#findComment-1657914 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine makes the same dying cat noise you just disconnect the battery without leaving the ignition on.My alarm still functions correctly despite that noise if you don't follow the battery disconnect procedure Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93935-battery-issue-with-ute-security-system/#findComment-1657929 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably easy to pull apart and replace backup battery. I can't be bothered. Just jam a rag in while changing battery. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93935-battery-issue-with-ute-security-system/#findComment-1657930 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it starts significantly draining the other battery.
