I think that it is surely easier and less expensive than spending about $100 on a new siren and tools, and removing the wipers and cowling to replace it. However, that is the other way to do it, and some have with success. Enjoy the new sound!

Corfire, thanks a million. Easy and loud enough.

CORFIRE,

Thanks for the information. I returned from the local radio shack, and voila!

The fuse layout on my 07 coupe is different...

There are no relays at all in this box..

Has onyone done this with a later model Crossfire?

I don't know if an 07 is different. I'm am wondering if you just opened the fuse box lid. On my 04 you must remove the whole top cover (that includes the lid) to expose the relay. Just wondering? If there is a relay in another location, you should be able to find it by listening for it 'clicking' when your lights blink when you operate the door locks with the remote.

CORFIRE,

You were correct, I didn't catch that there was another lid under the fuse opening...

Found it by listening to the relay clicking...

Reading back, it is well explained, but I missed it.

I used the RS, 273-066 larget buzzer. Currently it is installed under the fuse box, but I might put it outside in order for it to be louder.

Again, thank you for your assistance. I appreciate your patience and help.

Bruce

As an afterthought, if you mount the beeper outside of the fusebox, do you need to weather proff it?

and if so, how?

Mine is mounted right outside of the fuse box with the wire run along side of one of the rubber plugs. It doesn't seem to get wet and hasn't failed yet. If it fails, another 3 dollar buzzer will fix it, and then I'll worry about protecting it better.

By the way, your not far from me in Spokane, WA.

I took my crossfire to the dealer with a bad siren on the alarm, it would just make a lil gurgling sound, not a loud alarm siren sound. So they replaced the siren. And now when i lock and unlock with the key fob, i get a nice lil beep to confirm lock and unlock. Dont know if this is new or what, just was happy that I now can hear that it is locked.

Ok its been a month since the last entry so I'll bring this back for those that haven't seen it yet.
Bought the 060 and installed it. Piece of cake. even went so far as to open the relay and pretty up the wiring like JAMES1549 did (thread #65)
Mounted the buzzer outside of the fuse box onto the side of the inner fender using silicone. Works like a champ!

You don't need to worry too much about the beeper getting wet, unless you always wash the engine bay. I actually put the beeper inside a tiny plastic bag, then seal the opening with the wire going through, works good and inexpensive.

Did a slightly ghetto install in about 10 minutes! Sadly our Radio Shack charges $4.49 for the buzzer, but it works perfectly. I have my buzzer inside the fuze box, plenty loud for me. Thanks soooo much for this idea!

this is perfect! I used the 060 and hooked it up in about 30 minutes, measure twice cut once . I did end up mounting the buzzer to the fender and not inside the box. oh and if you decide to mount it to the outside of the fuse box; be sure not tot mount it right where the lid snaps itself closed...doote!

I really like how it isn't terribly loud and annoying, just enough to confirm that the doors are locked/unlocked. Once again a big THANK YOU to corfire for the how-to on this!
I know this is a old thread but I'm new here and i was wondering if you were able to get the buzzer on the outside and still have a good seal on your fuze box?

Yes, the fuse box cover closes fully. I'd have to take a look at it again but I recall there being a convenient little slot or something that the wires fit through nicely. I'll take a look a little later and report back for you.

I cut a small slot just enough to pass the two wires through then siliconed the slot. Perfectly sealed box.
