    If your alarm works then it sounds like the "switch" is the problem. Time to take off your horn and check that it's grounded and all wires are plugged in! And the horn makes contact! xD

    My VP has a seperate horn for the alarm, so i'd assume they havn't changed their setup, so it doesn't sound like that.

    If could be the plug that earths to the steering column.


    What or who were you beeping at for 10 seconds?

    I'm fairly sure the VY's have 2 horns but are both linked by the 1 relay which the horn and the BCM have access to using [according to the wiring diagrams]. If the Alarm works and the Horn doesn't then it's a fault with the Horn, if both dont work it could be the relay or both horns!
