alarm wire?

anyone know what wire comes out of the factory alarm box and goes to the horn? i have "freeway blaster" horns in place of the stock ones, but the alarm chirps don't have enough 'oomph' to give a decent chirp through the blasters. i wanted to get a dedicated horn for the alarm so i can actually hear if my car locks/unlocks.

thanks!

pin #16 goes to the horn relay from the OEM security box. Make sure you use a relay as this line can't drive the horn by itself.

have never seen or touched it personally.

see attached and hope it helps. Let me know if you can't open pdf files.


edit: BTW, it's the same pin (#16) for the 92 I have with the module behind the glove box. I put in an aftermarket security systems so I use the siren chirp and never had to look for it.

thanks, Lee - that was exactly what i needed! i'll be looking for a white/red wire going to the horn relay.

the WRX 'chirps' are so loud, i try not to lock the car until i'm far away - the sound hurts your frickin' ears! the SVX, on the other hand, you can barely hear. hopefully i can get that corrected now.
