I ended up mounting it with Velcro to the flat spot on the upper left, soldered the pins to the wires and used shrink wrap to protect the ends. Loud, loud, loud. Worth the investment. Thanks for your help guys. Stay safe out there.

Well I found the metri-pack GT150 connector at the electrical depot, https://theelectricaldepot.com/index...e04e61729d6036

They come in packs of 5 and the pins/seals are packs of 25. This works fine since I have 4 sirens. The only problem is the only seals they have are for 16-18 gauge wire and the siren is 22 gauge so they don't seal tightly. I just used a little RTV sealant before I pushed them into the housing. With shipping it cost me about $22 or about $4 per siren. It came together perfectly as shown in the pics. Only problem is that it doesn't work!!

I think I may have shorted the circuit when testing before I put the wires in the housing . The lights flash but no sound from the siren at all. When I plug into the red and black holes the siren fires loudly so I know it still works, but when I plug into the red and white/green holes nothing. Everything on the bike still seems to work, just no siren. Anybody have thoughts on what I can do to fix this?

Here are the pics with the part numbers and the assembled product

Check the brown 5 amp fuse. The siren gets its power through it.

my guess is that it's in the connection. The red is a constant hot is my understanding. The green brown wire is switched ground.

I hope this helps.

All fuses test good, still no siren. At least everything else is working.

Do you have a multi meter? If not only $15 at sears or Harbor Frieght. Probe the plug and see what you have. The fob is away from the bike right? Not trying to be funny as that is something I would do.

I hope this helps.

Are you guys changing the plug? Adding a connecter? Or just adding pins to siren wires and pushing them into the back of the connector?




I added pins to the siren wires and tried to push the pins into the back of the connecter, but no audible yet.

I just cut the pigtail off and soldered.

What else is a man going to do with that pigtail?
