no, I just realized that it was,nt the horn.

Does mean that the alarm is going off? If so when does it happen?

Do you want to fix it or disconnect it?

NO ITS JUST NOT WORKING,AND i REALLY DONT KNOW HOW TO SET IT

I Want To Fix It, So That It Works; But Dont Know Where To Start

See this post: 190 Alarm System
If you follow the instructions you should be able to find out if it ~exists/has been unplugged~...

It should~ be activated by key locking the car from outside and deactivated by key unlocking the car from outside... it should be set off if the hood/bonnet, any door, or the trunk/boot is opened while the alarm is active... or if the car is tilted while the alarm is active... to test that it works you can open a window, key lock the car from outside and reach through the window and open the door~ the alarm should go off... ?

Thanks Ill Look Onto It First Thing Tomorrow

Hay,
could'nt help but see whatz going on, and as the post mention it was disconnected. So I plugged them both in and still nothing. What else should I check for?

Do you know if the 88 190 2.3 auto can be activated by the trunk or passenger?

ok,just found that driver door and trunk activates the alarm;now the bad part is no sound,lights blink but no sound. Can anyone help?

Has anyone heard of the alarm horn going out on an 190E. If so,what the normal life expactency

They should last you longer, if they're out. You can check their connections in the front, check if they're loose or something.

Ok, just found out that the radio(replaced with an alpine) unit has something to do with the alarm system. Ifso, what wirez do I need to look for so the horn workz. Keep in the lightz do flash once it activated but no horn
