Using The Panic Button
 

i got this in an email. not a bad idea:

Put your car keys beside your bed at night. If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies. This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this: It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break in your house, odds are the burglar or rapist won't stick around... after a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that. And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there.....

Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime.

Would also be useful for any emergency, such a s a heart attack,
where you can't reach a phone.

My Mom has suggested to my Dad that he carry his car keys with him in case he falls outside and she doesn't hear him. He can activate the car alarm and then she'll know there's a problem.

I always leave my train horn switch on when the alarm gets set at night. I wish I could see the look on a robbers face when he gets the :edit: scared out of him. :lol:

thats a good tip .........thanks

that's a good idea. been thinking about rewiring my train horn. run a relay off the OEM horn circuit and using a toggle so i can take the train horn out of the circuit when i need to. :U:

The Chebbys already have a relay circuit and the horn is negative fired so I just ran a wire from the horn relay fuse to my train horn solenoid and put a switch in it. Works nicely but I'm thinking about running another relay so that I can use a lighted switch.
