So.... I am pulling into my storage unit and I hear a beep, beep, beep and then the burglar alarm goes off.... Whoop, honk, scream, on and on. So, I have never used the alarm and of course have no idea where the key fob to shut it off is ... The alarm goes off after I back out of the unit, OK? NO! I pull in again and the alarm goes off.... louder I am sure. So... I park the coach in the unit and hit the salesman switch to shut the thing off. Now, I have a coach with the 12 volt switch off just waiting for me to try and start it to get it out of the storage unit. Question...... does anybody know where the fuse might be located to shut the baby off? It is of course dark as hell in the unit so to see into the panel area beneath the drivers chair I must back it out.
Thanks in advance,

On my 95 Magna, there is a switch below the dash to the right of the steering column that allows you to select the scheme you want.
Mine has been set to off for 13 years 9 months of my 14 years of ownership.

Wire #263 on your house 12volt distribution panel in the electrical bay in front of the front bay is for the burglar alarm. When I purchased my coach I didn't get the fob and immediately pulled the fuse for that wire

Hi Pete, I finally got around to trying to silence my screaming alarm. I did as you suggested and pulled wire #263 off of the relay it was attached to. I could not find a fuse with the #263 wire attached. Once I pulled the wire off of the relay..... nothing happened, the alarm still blasted. I found the wiring diagram and picture in my DynoMax Owners manual. It only shows a relay, no fuse information. Sure hope you have an idea, guess I could try and find the alarm brain box and remove the wire there. Any idea where that may be?
Anybody else want to chime in?? Really could use the help!
Thanks in advance,

on my coach the physical horn is located under the front of the coach (roll out the generator and look up under on the PASSENGER side and you will see the horn. I just clipped the wires to the horn. This way the lights flash if the "alarm" goes off, but its silent. On my coach, if the bay doors are locked, the coach door locks also and sets the alarm. If I open the main door with a key or from the inside by sliding the lock tab and then open the door, the lights flash on and off, but the alarm doesn't sound (because the wires are clipped). If you want to enable the horn at some point in the future, all you have to do is reconnect the wires.

Steve,
On my coach the fuse for the burglar alarm is on the domestic fuse panel in the electrical bay; a 7.5 amp fuse, second from the left in the top row. The far left position on that row has no fuse. Wire #263 goes from the domestic fuse panel to the burglar alarm relay coil and then to a switch under the dash, above your right foot. That switch grounds the relay coil completing the circuit to activate the relay.
According to my wiring diagrams, the white wire #384 and the green wire on the relay are for the contacts. Could be the contacts are fused. Try disconnecting either wire. The green wire is a ground wire and won't have any power on it once disconnected.
If this doesn't fix your problem I would try Jim's solution.
