    Aloha,

    So A couple weeks ago I may have done something funny to my remote.

    When I cut power to the car, then reactivate is later, the chirp can be heard as the alarm and systems regain power.

    At some point I believe the key FOB in my pocket may have been pressed while in my pocket etc.

    So now when I lock the car or unlock, lock functions work, car starts etc, but no beep. I like the beep. Where is my beep.. :)

    Is the LED light on the dash behaving normally?

    Can you trigger the siren? e.g. Arm the alarm and turn off the battery?

    Have not tried to trigger it.

    OK, I just thought your siren might have (co-incidentally) failed.

    after some reading on here, looks like my backup battery is the culprit, as the light is always on now after the starting sequence..
    will try.

    The corvette siren is an option for replacement.
