Title: Security Alarm on 1995 U320.
Post by: Nigel0434 on March 07, 2019, 02:11:39 pm
Need to know where and how to shut off the security alarm. It is going off and then stops after a while.

Don't believe security alarm was standard equipment on your coach, must be aftermarket and therefore need more information about installation, etc.

My 95 had one. The alarm itself was a klaxon mounted on the firewall. My documentation included the schematic for it so I think it was factory. I don't know if it worked as I ripped it all out right away. Good luck.

I'm not sure what brand your security system is, but ours is a Trekmate.  This same thing happened to us.  If it is in "valet" mode, every 3 days, the alarm goes off.  We put the system in disable mode, and haven't had a problem since then.  We can always activate it again, and use the key fob to arm the system.  The switch is usually a silver toggle switch to the left of the steering wheel. 

I found the following links on IRV2 that might be helpful for you:

It is a trekmate. Is the key fob real small with 2 buttons?

Is it a toggle switch with 3 positions on the left of the seat behind the switches?

Below is a picture of our alarm key fob.  Our coach is a 1997 U320.

It is definitely a toggle switch with 3 positions.  Ours is not to the left of the seat, but was to the left of the steering wheel, but again, this could be a difference in coach year.

Look at your wiring next to the entry door. Check your coach wire diagrams, it is labeled alarm. Disconnect it, 46 B I think

I changed my alarm out for one I bought on Ebay cheap. If you do search, you will see the wiring diagram.

Here is a link when I did it, and which alarm.
