JustAddLightness Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Hello all, So I've just bought my first S1 Elise and absolutely love it. Generally the car is in great condition, but for some reason the alarm doesn't sound when triggered. The lights flash and all of the sensors seem to be working, but it's as if the sounder has been disabled. Is there a relay for the alarm sounder which might have failed? Does it normally trigger the car horn or should there be a separate siren? Could the alarm have been silenced somehow...? The alarm is the Cobra security alarm. It seems to arm and disarm ok using the key fob and the immobiliser seems to be working too... Any help would be great...? Cheers Ian

Pictures and wiring diagrams are in the Elise Service Manual (which is downloadable off the internet if you do a bit of searching
