Is the alarm actually armed? If the circuit for the alarm is open, you won't get the chirp. Years ago we had an issue where the driver's side, rear door lock actuator failed. Accordingly the alarm wasn't arming and we weren't getting the chirp.

Does the alarm light near the steering column blank? If it's not blinking then the harness connection at the bottom of the steering column near the gas pedal may have come out. I've seen it a few times before happen so check that also.

When I press the fob all the doors lock yes but when I press it again no chirp. I’ll check the steering column. Thanks you for the replies guys.

Still sounds like the alarm circuit is open. May not be a door lock issue. Do you see the flashing alarm light as DouglasM asked above?

My 2020 did the same when one of my power lock actuators broke. See if one of the power locks is not actually locking (eg leave the key far away and try to open all the locked doors).

It isn't liking something when it attempts to arm the alarm. Lock is the most common but anything like broken door-open sensors could be the culprit.

If all you're talking about is the fact that it doesn't chirp when you lock the car, isn't there a setting to turn that on and off? Maybe yours is just turned off.

I believe it's in the settings under door setup, scroll to keyless lock acknowledgement. I cannot verify because I no longer own my TLX but I think that's where the setup for that is.
