Folks,
I understand that most XMs had a lock installed under the bonnet which, when activated by the ignition key, isolated the alarm siren.
This was, so I understand, by the offside headlight main beam on an individual bracket.
Mine has only a relay there, but no lock barrel.
It's a '97 2.5 VSX.
Was this feature removed on later XMs, or am I missing something? Or was it relocated?

Sorry I can't help with the possibility of it being removed. Certainly on my '95 2.5TD VSX it is located just behind the drivers side (RHD)headlight on a flat bracket. The bracket is held in place by the same three rivets as hold the relay bracket in place and is secured to the black plastic apron. I have one relay fitted to the bracket with three spare holes. The wiring from the switch is contained in the same sub-loom as the siren itself which is located behind the bumper.
I've looked at the wiring diagrams for the late models and it says it is fitted. However, the diagrams for the early models don't show the switch.
I suspect this won't help much.
Cheers anyway
