Hiya, will shortly be putting an alarm in my 850 wagon.
I know they had an optional alarm.
So, I would like to know where exactly the factory bonnet pin switch went.
Pics would be good.

While I'm at it, would also love to know where they mounted the siren.
Or did they just use the horn ??

If anyone has any other relevant alarm info, that would be appreciated too.

Thanks.....

 

The switch is in the driver's side hood lock-there is a wire going to it. The alarm sound comes from a small horn mounted on the firewall (in the middle)

 

Excellent, Ta.

Do you know if the switch is in every hood latch, Or just those that have the alarm option ?
Pushing my luck here, any clues as to wether the wiring is carried into the cabin from some point under the bonnet, or do I need to run my own ?

thanks

EDIT;

Looks like I'll have to install a switch.
Neither catch has any wires etc comming out.
But, there is a two pin socket with a black and a yellow wire sitting near one catch.
Would this be used for the catch with the switch ??
If so then that means the wiring is carried through hopefully.
