Im not sure where it is in your car but there could be a little sensor under the driver side dash it should have a few lights may or may not be flashing. There should also be a little knob on it that should allow you to adjust the sensitivity on it

Hard wired smoke alarm which keeps beeping- please advise?
Usually, this indicates that the backup battery in the smoke alarm is low. If your alarms are connected to each other (usually indicated by a third wire connected to the alarm), it can be tricky to re-integrate one once you disconnect it. It seems that when connected for the first time, the alarm trips all the other alarms connected to it. To re-integrate an alarm properly, you need to disconnect power to all units (usually via the main circuit breaker) add the new unit, and then reconnect power to all units simultaneously (just turn the switch back on again). If you can replace the battery without disconnecting the alarm from its hardwired connection, that would save you a lot of headache. Sometimes the wires aren't very long which makes it challenging to replace batteries. If several alarms are beeping, it may be easier to disconnect them anyway. so basically, in other words.....it means you need a new smoke alarm...duhh ahahah
Why if a 2002 Passat has a good battery will it not start?
there are several reasons your car will not start. first does it crank? if not you have a neutral safety switch problem.this makes sure you are in park while attempting to start the engine. Since you mentioned the battery i can assume the engine does not crank. If you have an alarm there is a relay inside the alarm box that keeps the car from starting unless it is disarmed. this relay can go bad and after you disarm the alarm in does not make,keeping engine from starting. Please be more specific whit what the engine is doing or not doing.big difference from wont start to wont crank.

If Battery keeps draining overnight and it's not the alternator or battery?
If you are certain it is not a faulty battery or alternator problem, the next step is to find what is shorting out or drawing current with the ignition in the off position. Could be a number of things: Have you had aftermarket accessories installed (shift light/digital gauges/stereo/amplifier/car alarm/etc?) that would be where id start first, then use a simple circuit tester. Disconnect the battery, clip a lead on the + battery wire, any circuit that is drawing current will make the tester light up when you short the circuit/wire under the dash using the probe..this will only show you what can pull current when the ignition is off Hope this makes sense
How do you make an electric crane with iron rod and battery?
Wind a piece of wire around the iron core (about 6 or 7 times should do it) and connect both ends to the battery - this makes the iron magnetic - which will lift small metal objects such as paper-clips and drawing pins. The magnetic property is lost when you disconnect the battery.
