Did you accidentally press two buttons at the same time? I know if I press two buttons on my transmitter at the same time, the sound is disabled. What is the make and model of your alarm?
i'll try pressing both at the same time. that might have happened.
there was a toggle switch by the dead pedal, flipped teh switch and teh beep is back.
on my alarm. pressing both buttons didnt do anything.
the piezo buzzer might be faulty. I had the same problem, but after switching the buzzer, I got the beep back.
i know my piezo chirper is beyond its last legs, it only chirps about once a month now if that.
hey umeshr can you tell me where you found this toggle at? I might have the same problem. Thanks
better yet, anyone know the location of that piezo chirper?
It is right by the brake booster.. If you're looking at your engine bay it is to your right up by the firewall.. It is covered in isulation.. A company in Columbus Ohio sells the factory piezo's for $18.. I replaced mine and I'm chirping again..

um.. can you simplfy this? I don't understand what you mean by the brake booster...

Thanks :D
Look at your engine.. Facing the front, theres a black frisbee shaped thing in the right corner.. You can't miss it.. That is your brake booster.. The piezo is right in front of it..

probably wrapped with some "sponge" and tied to some wire with a zip tie. If you look in the sponge thing, the piezo looks like a small cyliner about the diameter of a quarter, red in color.
thanks i'll take a look when i get off class. Hopefully that will fix my problem >_<

It is covered in a foamy material..It's not hard to find.. Look directly in front of the brake booster..
