No alarm sounder

[mr roonie]

Hi does anybody have any idea why my alarm does not sound? the lights flash as theyre supposed to but no sound is it a separate horn or a proper siren? the car is a 98 E class DT300. Any advice is much appreciated Thanks!!

Am assuming you mean the alarm siren doesn’t give out short “chirps” when you lock or unlock the car. I think this is now common on car alarms as it is considered a noise nuisance where cars are being locked late at night in residential areas. Others may know more.

thaks for the reply but there is no sound at all even when the alarm is triggered do you know where the sounder is located? cheers

Not familiar with your car but others may put you right. Did a small round hollow key with a notch on it come with the car, if so it is for switching on/off the alarm, when you find the siren there may be a small key switch on it for the key, if not the key switch could be located under the steering wheel above your knees or possibly in the glove box.

I think on your car the alarm siren is located behind the wheel arch cover on the back off the o/s/f wheel, (drivers front).
hope that helps
