Factory Alarm Chirp! Solved! Read!!!
Re: Factory Alarm Chirp! Solved! Read!!!
Ok, I have NO chirp. Although my panic button very much works. On my stock window sticker (I am the second owner) it says Premium Security Alarm, but the dealer has the options features under my VIN and has no mention of this feature. But I went to the parts guy and he looked up my VIN differnetly and it indeed says Premium Security Alarm.
So I was arguing with them saying that I knew the part number of the Siren and that it is located under the cowl. They're argument was the Owners Manual has no mention of an alarm chirp (from the start). Anyhow they are taking another look at the siren and locating the alarm module if it indeed has one. I spoke to the only Crossfire qualified tech the dealer has, of whom worked on my car about it. He was cool about everything and are also replacing my liftgate latch (interior lights problem).
Any thoughts? I have a Limited and as the window sicker says (I have the original) the car is loaded. What gives? Is there any tests to see if the alarm has been disabled (which the mechanic suggested)?? Or to test its functionality??

Or arm it with someone inside and have them open a door from inside.
I think that should work. I have a roadster and the alarm has different features.

Wow,....Excellent! This forum keeps getting better and better with all this valuable information. We need to have all the how to's placed into that one thread to make it easier to look up. Thanks for letting us know about this! Now I should still be able to get mine fixed under the warranty which will expire next July.
Re: Factory Alarm Chirp! Solved! Read!!!
So I just got my car back from service where they replaced my rear latch to fix my interior lights problem and it was also rateling. Now the alarm works!! But NO CHIRP!! : ( and the dealer provided me with all of this documentation on my factory alarm about it arming/disarming with no mention of an audiable chirp. Ugh! So I'll picked up a radioshack buzzer to install with the relay in the fuse box.
Question: if I use the fusebox relay and wire it with the siren rather than the buzzer I wonder how it'll sound... Any thoughts?

Help!
I have the the 5124443AB as shown below
Other than internal electronics, will it fit on the car? I really don't want to take the car apart and then find out it won't work.
The photos of both the old siren and the new 512443AA show a threaded hole for a stud. The one I've attached has a stud. And, yes, I've checked under it and it is solid plastic.
Help?

I installed the new alarm today and it functions exactly as described...I have "chrip"
I did have to find a nut for the new siren, but otherwise it works as described! The only downside, if you want to call it that, is that the security bolt is no longer used, but I figure if a thief is getting that far into my car he/she would have a security torx set anyway.
I used a battery post puller to take off the wiper blades. Marked where they went with tape before total removal, though.
Thanks for thread.
Re: Factory Alarm Chirp! Solved! Read!!!
just got to dealer today to fix cricket sounding panic alarm. they said they needed to order new "horn" from germany, could take 4 days till they get the part. i hope that fixes the problem, the regular horn works fine but the panic alarm sounds like it just blew, kind of like when the insides of a speaker/amp goes out....anyone have similar experiences?
Re: Factory Alarm Chirp! Solved! Read!!!

Re: Factory Alarm Chirp! Solved! Read!!!
I just found out the same thing! I was a little upset to find the replacemet part is $150.00 vs. The previous horn being only $60 I had to order a key today and figured what the hell I'll go ahead and get the horn an he wanted $191.00 and so I searched online and all I can fin is the $150 one. I don't know about you guys but if im going to start spendig that kinda money I might as well get a real alarm with remote start for just a hundred bucks more or so.

Also, several members have been able to get the chirp by replacing the alarm siren with a new one (different part number) as indicated in this thread. That process does appear to be getting expensive.
