Rick W Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Just purchased a genuine wing mount siren for the jeep. It works a treat when wired directly up to a battery, much to the amusement of the boys out the back! Question is, how would it originally have been wired up? What switch etc would it need to be installed properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
