454XL alarm
We took 21 year old Happy Ours out for a 2 hour run on Saturday, 6-28-14 and it ran beautifullywith 1660 hours.
Monday evening, 6-30-14 while checking the boat on the lift behind our home I heard a horn blowing.
It was the VDO starboard horn down and to the right of the steering wheel.
Last night the only way I could get the horn stopped was to disconnect the battery with the switch.
Tuesday AM I checked with power, still a horn.
I decided to disconnect one of the wires to the VDO and repower and the horn stopped.
Then decided to run and freshwater flush both engines , Port engine no problem
Starboard engine, no problem until turning the ignition key "OFF" and the engine continued to run.
The only way I could get it to stop was to kill the battery with the switch.
I heard several different horns when I was trying to analyze the problem but I can't determine which horn is associated with which function. Could It be a sender or ignition switch?
