Our carbon monoxide alarm started "chirping"- a sign (usually) of either a weak battery, or a need for maintenance. According to the documentation, the only maintenance required is a periodic vacuuming. I did that, and replaced the battery for good measure. It was OK for a week or so, but has now started chirping again. Anybody have a similar problem? ------------- Bob and Joyce Jennifer and Baxter, the Campin' Cocker Spaniels RP 177 "Key Pod" Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT / Z71 |

Bob, Mine did the same thing. If you search the reviews for the OEM unit on Amazon you'll see it is a common failure mode. The only cure is the trash can. I replaced mine with a Kidde combo fire and CO alarm. Mounted it in the same spot. It talks too.  ------------- Charlie Northern Colorado OLD: 2013 RP-172, 2010 Honda Pilot 3.5L 4WD PRESENT: 2014 Camplite 21RBS, 2013 Supercharged Tacoma 4L V6 4WD |
