Anti theft alarm horn (battery back-up)

Postby JagmanXJR03 » Mon Dec 31, 2018 3:02 pm

Hello all, and seasonal greetings to you all.
Have any of you any experience of replacing the Anti theft alarm horn (battery back-up).
Mine is beeping, and have a replacement due in, but looking under the engine fuse box it seems almost impossible to remove the box as there are two huge looms underneath.
Can this be changed from removing the inner wheel arch, or are there nuts an bolts that need to be removed from under the fuse box?
Any help would be great.
My S-Type is a 2007 by the way.

Not sure about removing it from the Wheel Arch, I know there is some access, have a read at these two guides which should supply some useful info...

Thanks for that Doug.
I mission to say the least.
On the right hand side of the fuse box I have another loom (that's two) from the box, making it nearly impossible to lift the fuse box up.
My fear would be to remove the bumper to remove the headlight to gain access that way, but as we all know, fitting it all back always never goes swimmingly!

Finally done it!
With the help of a local independent garage!
Had to remove front bumper, O/S headlamp assembly, and crossmember.
