    Relays in engine bay

    I have two missing relays from the box in the engine bay on the right hand side near the suspension strut. Are these relays likely to be anything to do with the alarm and could that explain why wen my alarm is set off the horn doesnt soud and the lights dont flash??

    Any other suggestions very welcome

    cheers

    well same as mine, nothing in all 3 of those plugs/sockets. I think the big one is diagnostics or something maybe? I justtucked mine into the box where the other pictures you have posted

    -----ok well moving on as i was hoping it was the relays but obviously not now, does anyone no y wen i lock my car wiv the fob it doesnt flash the hazards and why wen i set my alarm off only the hazards flash and no noise from siren/horn or flashing headlights??
