OK,
I have just fitted a new OBC outside temp sensor, and also notice 2 more wires coimg out of the same part of the loom where something seems to of been ripped off at some point..!!

What is missing as the OBC still reads -30!! or do i need to give it time..

Thanks guys

If it's reading -30 then there is a fault somewhere as the obc isn't recognizing the temp' sensor.

So is there more than one horn as the main one works..??

Do i have to check the wiring back to the OBC as everything else works on it.?

The auxiliary horn for the obc is part of it's immobiliser system, and not worth worrying about if you don't have it. It sounds to me as if you may have a dodgy sensor in the air duct, providing everything is correctly wired.
