I have a Clifford 7000 alarm system installed in my car that has a
battery backup siren. Recently, I no longer get the validation chirp
from the siren when engaging the alarm system. The siren will still
sound if the alarm is triggered. My original installer in California
who is very knowledgable and is a reputable installer, told me that
its most likely a bad battery-backup siren, not a wiring or alarm
module problem, as the battery-backup sirens are prone to fail in this
way over time (my alarm is over 4 years old).
So now I am trying to find a local dealer near Ann Arbor, michigan (my
new residence) who will find and replace the siren with a new one. I
used Clifford's website to find a list of local dealers. After calling
all of them, some were very reluctant to consider the repair job, some
said they dont do repairs, a couple were out of business and Best Buy
told me to call Clifford, where Clifford then told me to call a
dealer. So after all of this frustration, I am hoping someone can
recommend a quality installer in Eastern Michigan who could order a
replacement siren (Clifford said they wont sell direct to me), find
the siren (should be relatively easy) and can replace the defective
siren.
