Big Bob Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I've just fitted an aux power socket in the boot for a cool box, when I took off the n/s top panel I found a horn mounted under there behind the seat belt reel. Does anyone know why it's there? I can only assume it's to do with the alarm, seems a strange place to fit it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny87 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 How did you fit the aux power socket in the boot? Was the wiring already there or did you have to run cables? Ta. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon I couldn't find any cables that I felt were heavy enough to take the load, so I ran new from the fuse board. There was a free permanent feed with a heavy cable and an ignition feed, above fuses on the right hand side of the board (maybe a relay position), so I ran from those using a relay & 10amp fuse.

jonshepherd Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Yes I think its the alarm siren, so that theives cannot simply cut or disconnect the horn to effectivly disable the alarm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
