Default Flashing alarm but no siren ?

Hi guys
I have recently tested my car alarm on my Bugeye and found that I have all the flashing lights but no sound from the siren , is it a separate siren or is it off the car horn ? the horn works fine
Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated
Cheers

This will be siren failure, common.
It is a separate siren normally located under the scuttle panel
£57 new from Subaru.

Had the same issue check my thread on this for information.

Nice one thanks, is it easy to fix ? Will I have to cut and solder any wires or do they unclip from the siren ?

depends what alarm is installed, Sigma alarms are plug and play so no soldering required once you have found the base unit.

Look for a gold or silver coloured box about 4 x 6 x 1 inch in size.
The new siren comes with plug and wiring code for the plug
Easy fix and not too expensive, the new siren has been redesigned to prevent the water ingress which is the cause of them failing.

The siren goes in the same place or you can relocate if requires the cable runs back into the car and the four core cable wires to the plug which plugs into the main unit and the single black wire is for the bonnet switch.
You will see when you carry out the replacement.
