Speeding warning alarm on my Disco
« on: October 20, 2004, 20:23:57 »
Can someone please help me before a pull out my little remaining hair.
I have recently brought my first disco,  a 3door basic no frills 1995 Mreg. 300tdi. Manual.
I have dicovered an annoying alarm sound a bit like that of a truck reversing, when i drive over about 73mph.
Can anyone tell me how to locate and disable this alarm or anything about it.
The alarm seems to come from the dash area and gets a little loader when the fuse panel is dropped open onto my legs but apart from this what can u do when driving at 73+ mph.
My cousin has general electronic knowlegde and has spent a few hours trying to trace wires and looking for suspect wiring jobs but with no joy.
HELP ME!

Its the 'excess speed warning' - kicks in at 120kph ~ 75mph
I believe it uses the same sounder as the lights on alarm - to have it disabled is a case of plugging the pc in to it (usually main dealers @ an arm and a leg). Its usually only enabled for foreign motors not UK models tho.

Mine is two-fold - it also interfaces to the BioNAV(TM) and causes voice alerts too  :wink:  :lol:

If that is all the alarm unit does, can you locate the wires leading to it and cut one :twisted:

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40
