Car Alarm Question?

jpumpkinn · 04-21-2002, 11:43 PM

After some jug heads TRIED to steal my stang my alarm never worked right. What they did was to rip the alarm horn wires my reaching in thru the cowl with some kind of hook and ripped the wires going to the horn. After I scared them off and hooked the alarm horn back up it sounds really muted like it has water in it and will not turn off? Everything else works the same starter kill, locks, lights, blinkers. The darn horn will just not shut off and sound loud? Any suggestions???

By the way the idiot thieves pulled the brake lines off when they ripped the horn wires they would not have gone very far without any brakes.

Thanks

If it won't shut off, it's shorted. You can pick up a cheap yet loud replacement at Radio Shack for under $20. That's what I'd do. I'd also mount it against the fenderwell, underneath the air intake tube.

Take care,

So you think its just the horn not the alarm brain? I don't have to get a new alarm.

Just for backup I am planning to put a couple of horns on once I fix this problem. I know someone who has 3 horns on a explorer.

Thanks!
