I thought about puting this in the security section but it's an electrical question so bear with me please

The alarm sirn on my 6 has been knackered for some time now and I managed to find a fairly cheap new Xsara siren and bought it in the hope that it would be the older type of plug so it would be a straight swap.

Well, it's the newer three pin connection on the siren so obviously wont fit my wiring plug.

I have the loom and plug for the new siren, so my question is, if I chop the wires and attach to the existing wiring in my car, do you think it will work, or would I need to do anything else?

The new wiring has three wires Black, Red, Blue/yellow that correspond to the three pins.

The old 4 pin plugs only use three of the pins so my thinking is, if I just cut the plugs off and then solder the new 3 pin plug onto the existing wiring in the car so I can plug in the new siren.

In theory it sounds fine to me but any thought would be welcome on this

The new siren is a Texton 9639557480

Cheers guys

i cant see why it wouldnt work as its a simple voltage on, it makes a noise etc. nothing to do with the wiring controlling the trigger sequences.

i would go for it

how much for a siren btw

I didnt look into how they work too much when unplugged. Looks like it mounts the same as the 6 one (2 bolts in the side) And while the connector is 4 pin, theres only 3 pins in the siren that looks the same as the xsara

Does that have battery back up? Its not essential (might get solid light on LED to indicate charge error) i'm just thinking it looks a bit small

As long as it behaves the same as the peugeot one you will probably be OK

ie: alarm triggered by voltage across (for example) A and B

voltage across A and C provide power for siren, and charges battery

Once triggered, siren continues for (about) 3 minutes and then stops, (leaving dash red LED flashing fast to notify driver)

Big question is will it sound the same or be the audio equivolent of the Xsara

are you going to relocate it though? whhen i get mine, im going to relocate it to the engine bay near the abs controller/battery. dont want it rusting up again

Just checked and these sirens do have battery backup built in
Just have to drill out the rivets holding the arch liner to the front bumper now to get to the old siren
