No, im not a noob, I know how to set the sound on and off with the remote. My question is, is there a fuse for the horn that makes the sound? My alarm doesnt chirp anymore even when I set it to chirp. Any ideas? Been like this for a few days now and I miss the sound.

 

maybe the owner's manual says something.

 

you can set the alarm to chirp??

 

I believe you have to hold the trunk and lock button on your remote for about 4 seconds.
This will activate teh bird chirp ( Same goes for de-activation ).

 

Please read first line of my post. old

Silver, yes. Our stock alarms emit a slightly weak but cool sound when the alarm is armed/disarmed. And mine decided not to want to do that anymore for some reason.

 

You're still a ...just because
Don't ask why; just accept it.

I have no knowledge on car alarms.

btw - I have a Clifford alarm.

 

I dont wanna accept it I want my chirpy sound back.

 

There is no fuse for the actual siren. There is a fuse for the factory security module. But if that fuse was blown, your keyless entry wouldn't work either. I'm wagering that your siren is bad or unplugged. The siren is next to the horn in front of the radiator. It looks similiar to the horn. To figure out wich one it is. ....

Unplug one. Honk the horn. If the horn doesn't honk... It's not that one. If the horn does honk then you unplugged the siren.

FYI... You can take an aftermarket siren and connect it to the factory siren leads.

 

^^ I'll try that. The locks and lights all work when I arm/disarm. Just no noise. Maybe it got too wet or something.

 

i'll have to try that out when i get my car back 2nite...

 

first check to see if you key fob is set for the chirp. and then if its still not working, before you go thru all of that work to unplug stuff, hit your panic button and see if the alarm makes any sound because it uses the same siren.

 

Maybe your hood sensor is broken. Some people had the exact problem and it was the hood sensor. Test and see if your alarm is actually arming by leaving the window down, wait 30 sec, then reach in and open it. If it's not really arming the car, then it's probably your hood sensor.

 

I tried to use the panic button, but no sound, just flashing lights. I'll play around with the horns later on and see what happens.

 

if the lights did flash but u got no sound that means ur siren is shot...........time for a new one (unless it just simply came unpluged)

 

 

Im gonna look after work today. Kinda stupid to have an alarm with no sound, even though you really couldnt ehar it anyway when it went off.

 

BRO... If you couldn't hear that thing!!
Get yer errs checked. The CL is the loudest, most distinct siren I've heard. The Clifford Medallion is the only siren louder.

 

 

Are you serious? My CL sounds like a lost kitten. MAybe my alarm was always screwed up then. Everyone makes fun of the way my alarm sounds.

 

If you have no knowledge...

 

^^ He just likes to see himself type

 

once my alarm went off when i was sleeping and it woke up the whole house...

 

^^ No way. I cant even hear it from 50 feet. Hmmm, might need to get it checked out, maybe one of the horns blew out or something. Its really nor loud at all and I always worried about not being able to hear it from inside the house.

 

I used to have street side parking on a man highway route, and mine used to wake up all my neighbors at night. If a big bus or motorcycle set it off.

 

I agree. I could barely hear mine from inside the house.

 

there are two setting i asume by your typing. whats the other. my alarm doesnt work BTW. the lights flash and shit but no sound. as a matter of fact, i dont remember it working for as long as ive had this car.

 

i did that thing with the fob and one setting that little light comes on for about 1/2 second. the other it blinks twice very quickly.

 

ODD... I would have loved to hear it. I've never heard that siren sound like a kitten. I'm pretty sure that your siren just took a dump. At work, we see sirens go out pretty frequently. Usually they get filled with dirt and sand. And being that the CL siren is right up front.... I guess I could understand. I think that you should get a new Acura siren for your CL. I think that you'd be impressed when you hear what a "GOOD" siren sounds like.

 

ok check this out i believe i got a big ass problem. both of them honk when i push the horn button. one of them is higher pitched than the other though. i unplugged one and the horn honked. so i plugged it back in the unplugged the other and it still honked. on the plus side i do have a loud ass horn. does anybody know what could be wrong with my alarm.

 

Now that is some funny shit!!!!

 

Shit bro. Wish I could help you out. I could probably diagnose that mug in minutes, if I had the car in front of me. But... I think that you should take it to the dealership. Or a "car audio" shop. They can troubleshoot this for you for around $50 bucks.
