306 Cabriolet Alarm Unit location - Oldyroady - 17-03-2019 Hi, I've got a P plate 306 cabriolet, I hadn't driven it for a couple of months and so had to recharge the battery. Fitted the charged battery and the indicators came on permanently (not flashing, solidly lit). After a couple of miles driving the fault disappeared, but the battery lost its charge again very quickly. Replaced the battery and found it doesn't hold its charge for more than a week. Came home the other night and saw the car sat on my drive with the near side indicators permanently lit. I'm guessing the alarm module is faulty - have removed the interior side panel behind the driver's seat as instructed in other posts to access the module but I can't see it anywhere. Does my diagnosis sound correct and where can I find the alarm module? Many thanks. RE: 306 Cabriolet Alarm Unit location - Mighty306 - 18-03-2019 Electrics 'ain't my area of expertise & this is just from what I've read elsewhere. You may find the central locking / alarm module under the upright part of the rear seat. http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=50366 . May be different on cabriolet though. Even though it sounds like you're on the right track have you already checked which circuit the parasitic draw is occurring on? RE: 306 Cabriolet Alarm Unit location - Mighty306 - 18-03-2019 Should also have asked ...have you confirmed the battery is in good condition? A weak battery can cause a lot of weird symptoms. RE: 306 Cabriolet Alarm Unit location - cully - 18-03-2019 alarm sounders are the favorite for killing batteries as they fill with water they also have a small set of batteries in them which are always powered to charge the alarm box on a ph2 is like you say drivers B post behind the panel above the seat belt reel maybe different on a cab the alarm box and the C/L box are seperate on PH2 combined on PH3 but both control the indicators RE: 306 Cabriolet Alarm Unit location - Mighty306 - 18-03-2019 ^^^ Ignore me n listen to Cully.

A weak battery can cause a lot of weird symptoms. Brand new battery in two weeks ago, already back out and on charge. Many thanks.
