The alarm fitted to my SR used to be like that, going off all the while. I don't know if it was standard fit or not. I stopped using it, until the immobiliser got stuck on, so I got it sorted.

Its a MOSS somethin or other.

yep thats how it works but does ne1 no where it is bein standard vaux im guessin prob 1 of the footwells

[Chris LR]

Mine's in the engine bay, guess it isn't standard :oops:

[MattyWoo]

tut tut chris. what happened to standard eh??

[geordie_racer]

im after where the actual box that controls the alarm is located not the siren which is wot id have thought uve found in the engine bay

[Chris LR]

I though the siren contained the controls etc, thats where the sensitivity contorls are.

Where are your sensors?

[geordie_racer]

er thats the prob i can't find ne sensors or nehinbut an alarm keeps goin off when it likes n the indicators flash

[Chris LR]

We must have different alarms, my sensors are on the A posts and my sidelights go instead of indicators.

Where do the wires go out of the siren?

[geordie_racer]

this is whats so weird bout it i can't even find the siren

[Chris LR]

where have you looked? Is it connected to your horn instead?

[geordie_racer]

no that was my next idea but it's so bloody old n wet at the minute. so do the stansard vaux alarms not have a control box like most other alarms?

[mikeoxford]

alarms can either be:

contained in one single unit WITH siren

be of a unit somewhere and extra siren mounted elsewhere

or a unit, with no siren wired to your horn




if your alarm gus off so much like u say set it off then locate the siren! then trace the wires to the control box

i THINK IIRC looking on EPC that the control box and siren are seperate

[geordie_racer]

don't suppose epc says where the control box is installed my bets still the footwells gona look later

[Chris LR]

It's not in the battery tray on the right? Or on the Left on the engine?
