05 S40 - No audible confirmation alarm is on

Post by marcusb »

I Friend of mine has a crossfire, which is basically a Mercedes and it has the same problem. there is no audible tone notification when the alarm is armed or disarmed. so.. in a crossfire forum there is a cheap fix to this, add a $5.99 chirp piece from radio shack plus 6 inches of solid wire and made his car chirp when the alarm is armed or disarmed. I helped him do it this weekend and it sounded great. He basically added a parallel chirp to the keyless entry lights relay as listed here.. http://www.crossfireforum.org/forum/tsb ... -tone.html

Does the S40 have such a relay. after about an hour looking under the hood and reading over the fuse box cover, i wasnt confident that i would be looking for the correct relay. I bought what he bought from radio shack and if i cant get anyone with knowledge about this to respond Ill just start trying it myself. its basically adding wires to the prongs of the relay that controls the parking lights when the alarm is armed.. etc.. does anyone know if there is a fix or a similar relay or way to mod?
