Missing bit from front grill area?
Does anyone know what is missing from here? This is to the right of the radiator as you look at the front upper grill. There are a pair of clipped wires that I assume went to something here.

Look very much like the. Mounting bracket for a PA horn or external speaker
are the clipped wires just two speaker sized wires , or maybe 6 core multi coloured ?

Re: Missing bit from front grill area?
Once the rain stops I'll get out to the van and take some proper-like pics of the wires and a larger view and post.
External speaker a possibility as there is an aftermarket sound system installed (although I've never had it working).
Rad fan does kick in. Don't think it is related to the cooling system.
It's a mystery!

Re: Missing bit from front grill area?
ok here are better pics of where the mystery object was mounted, and the four wires I think that were possibly going to it. Haven't had time yet to trace them back to the fuse box. Thoughts anyone?

Re: Missing bit from front grill area?
Puts me in mind of the mount for a 12V siren such as I have secreted in my van (where no one would expect) but the four wires are suspicious. Am I right in thinking that the wire bundle would re-appear inside the van behind the bulkhead somewhere under the dash. If so a two person wire wiggling session might lead (pun ) to a now redundant box of tricks.

Re: Missing bit from front grill area?
I've had a look inside at the wiring and yes it is a bit of a rat's nest with cables for whatever was here, plus now non-existent fog lamps, sony stereo and the big bundle of wires for the alarm system.
But thanks to all who have posted as now I know it is not original and thus I am going to not worry about it. I'll blank off the lines properly.
