I disconnected the connectors to the horn and tested the voltage which read 9-10v all the time.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My '99 C2 Tip's alarm has been working fine, but when changing the car battery I noticed something strange. The horn next to the battery on the offside was buzzing slightly. I disconnected the connectors to the horn and tested the voltage which read 9-10v all the time. The horn sounded normally when I applied 12v through it. When I left the horn disconnected and armed the alarm, it rightly sensed a fault and the led flashed twice every few seconds. When I reconnected the horn, all was well when arming it. My worry is the 9-10v going through the horn all the time and would it flatten the battery. Is this normal or is this how the alarm senses the horn is connected. I would appreciate if anyone out there has the same car would connect a volt meter to the connectors of this horn to see if they have the same phenomenon. Thanks

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

FYI i posted on Renntech and got a reply. It answers my question exactly and also gives a better understanding on how the standard alarm system works.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
