Transformer/rectifier

[Scoffsontour]

Hi everyone feeling a bit fed up to say the least but hubby and I took our fiat/hymer for its 1st MOT (1st for us) it's a 2001. The guy is local and deemed it dangerous to drive due to driver seat loose and made a song and dance about it but then admitted it could be just loose bolts. Hubby checked and hey ho tightened up bolts and all secure again. Anyway a couple of other issues 're wipers/washers but again simply sorted that out ourselves. Only thing left is brake imbalanced across rear axle ? Covered in grease or other material. Anyway after sorting out the seat and wipers suddenly quite loud buzzing noise from transformer/electroblok. It's coming from a small white box(almost looks like a tiny speaker) with black and red wires. We understand it to be some type of warning but no idea what! Any help for us novices is greatly appreciated.

Its a 12v warning buzzer, looks like an afterfit, not original.
No idea what its connected to but ideas.
Habitation step out ?
EHU cable connected ?

Looks like you've removed it so it should be quiet now sorted.

Would suggest you reconnect it.
It's your warning that your step is not retracted when your engine is running.

My buzzer has started making croaking noises so I think it`s on it`s last legs

You are right so thanks again. It's funny though as we have accidentally moved it twice with steps down whilst on sites before realising. It looks like the warning has just started working again. It really does have a life of its own. Just got to find a decent MoT garage now and learn how to use this forum better. I think everyone is great and really helpful but struggle to find my way around it. Still can't delete the other thread

It could be dirty contacts on the micro -switch situated near the steps?
