There should be a flasher switch right next to it, yes? Looks exactly the same as the turn signal flasher. Together, they operate the alarm. The relay stores/sends the signal and the flasher gives the intermittent "beep" to the alarm's audible horn.

Does your alarm work?

Thanks for your reply and extra input, every little bit helps
