Hi All,
While at work on Monday I got a call from reception saying that my alarm was going off.
I went out and all was silent, no indicator flashing so just unlocked, locked and went back to my desk.
No one at work would no it was mine (daily driver is a company volvo) except for one engineering colleague (who also happens to have a 930 turbo in his garage awaiting restoration) so I messaged him.
He said it didn't sound like a normal alarm sound, more like the horn sounding intermittently over a short period and then sounding continuously for a while before going silent.
Since having the car I have always felt the horn is a bit sensitive, being easy to make it sound unintentionally.
I looked at the fuse with the intention of just removing it for now to ensure it didn't happen again and found the fuse wire broken. I put the spare fuse in and couldn't make the horn sound.
It had an MOT a few weeks ago so can only assume it worked then.
So, whats happened? is there some sort of dodgy connection causing the horn to sound randomly and then the continuous sounding has caused the fuse to blow? if so, I'm guessing I just need a new horn unit, any suggestions for the dodgy connection?
many thanks
Steff
