I really appreciate the PM.

I have no idea actually why it started working. I checked all the doors, hood and trunk, and ran the foxwell live data to confirm everything was registering as closed/shut and no codes. It just started working for her when she unlocked the car at the grocery store she said. Won’t be surprised if it fails again soon.

I suspect an intermittent short somewhere and was thinking of checking the continuity and resistance of the siren. Now it’s working so I don’t know if it would tell me anything useful.

I’ve now done all the “easy” upgrades to the sound system so a kenwood amp and kicker speakers are next. I’ve got your excellent write up and pics bookmarked. The car will be pulled apart for a few days, so I’m thinking of combining the sound system work with the seat upholstery and possibly the brush bar fabrication this fall. My third car’s AC is toast and not worth fixing so I’m going to do all this not before mid October when it cools down around here.
