Title: Vauxhall Combo weird noise.
Post by: Pole 2 Pole on June 07, 2011, 01:51:33 pm: Whenever(but not always) I turn the ignition off on my 52 plate combo I get 4 really loud beeps. Can someone please tell me why oh why it happens????

But perhaps it happens when you park up with the indicators on, so when you take out the key it lets you know because with the indicator on with no key in ignition it will leave on a sidelight. Mine does this but beeps until you put the indicator switch back to the off position

It never used to make the noise at all but now it's every day. Please keep your thoughts coming. Even Wilde Coyote ;D
