Aimfor1337 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I guess when i disconnected the siren from the brain unit, the alarm was activated. This apparently caused a spark. What damage is done, The touch was not long at all, but what has gone wrong? The siren no longer chirps when activating or setting the alarm, de-activating or panic. The siren it's self works perfectly, i've tested it to the 12V battery in the truck. The truck is a 1998 Chevy S-10. I'm just wondering if i popped a fuse, and if so, where would the fuse be, or if i fried the brain of the alarm.

Shyne151 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) Probably burnt out the output on the brain. There will be no fuse for the siren output.

Aimfor1337 Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 If i did this, what would i do about that. Replace the whole alarm system? I cant seem to find any replacement brains for this system, at all. Anyways to fix this if that's the case?

As for a replacement all you will have to replace is the brain... Did a shop put it in? if so just take it back and play dumb like you don't know what's wrong with it.

Aimfor1337 Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I have a multimeter... Not sure if i could test the output with it, but i'm betting so since it will just tell me the output voltage if so. A shop did install it but it was a WHILE ago... so i doubt they'll cover it. i highly doubt it. We simply bought a new remote for it, programmed it, the thing worked fine then i noticed the wiring to the siren all junky so i stripped and re-nutted the wiring, and then it wasnt working. My buddy took it to a shop to have it looked at for a remote, because he didnt know which one to order, and the shop cut off the valet switch. We just held the wiring together to set the remote and it worked. Now if you touch the valet wiring together, the brain makes a clicking noise, like it's trying to work or something. Not sure.
