Near the ABS unit under the hood there is a Horn. I acquired this car
recently but wasn't given any remote controller. Is the presence of this
horn unit an indication that an alarm system is installed and I just need to
buy a remote for it?  Or perhaps it means that the car is <alarm system
ready> i.e. this horn would be used by the alarm system if one was added.

Thanks

yes it is an alarm system horn.  You can test the functionality of the
system by rolling down your window and locking the car.  then open the door
by pulling up on the door lock by the window.  The alarm should now go off.

cheers, guenter

Thank you Guenter

How would I disable it if it does work?

Yes, it makes it more exciting having a Merc if its stolen  :)     What I
meant was if I set it off trying to test it, how do I stop it sounding off
so as not to disturb the neighbours.

I'm pretty sure that all you need to do is unlock the door with the key.

    Ahhh, he asks the right question first  :-)
simply close/lock the door and unlock it properly with your key ..... I was
in a mall with security coming toward me when I did this accidentally ....
took me seemingly forever to figure it out  :-)

cheers
