Hello, first of all excuse my bad english. I wish I could disable the alarm horn on my 1999 x308 (driver seat on the left - Italy). I removed the 10 A fuse in position 9 from the engine fuse-box, but the horn still works. Is there a way to disconnect the alarm horn cable? Where is it? Many thanks for your advice. Dario.

On my 1999 car, the alarm siren was, if I remember well, more like the 2nd location described by "motorcarman". In any case, I managed to disconnect and take it our having the wheel arch protector removed and also working from under the car.
My siren went bad and was causing huge battery drain. The good thing is that, without the siren, the alarm still sounds but only using the car's horn (much less annoying).

Hello, many thanks for both reply and sorry for my delay in answering.
I have one more question. Since I am not so good in mechanics and in my town there's not a Jaguar workshop, I was wondering if there is a way to silence the alarm removing the fuses. In the Engine Compartment Fuse Box the fuses n. 3 and n. 9 are involved in the "security sounder" circuit. Could the removal of these fuses be efficient to silence the alarm sirene?
Many thanks in advance.

So, you'll have to dig-in and unplug the siren (should be a 6-pin connector). It is not that difficult - jack-up the front left side and look from under. Once you locate the large black box (see pics) just pull the 6-pin connector (you have to press a locking tab at the side of the connector to release it).

Hi All - bumping this thread as my 1999 XJ8 alarm has been going off at random times when parked in my driveway/on the street in the city. I am looking to totally disable the alarm system. Would I achieve this by unplugging the passive alarm plug? I have located the plug under the front left side of the car.. I'm not sure how to go about then testing the alarm to see if it doesn't go off. Please let me know your thoughts.
