OK, my 4R has an old-school Clifford Intelliguard 700i alarm. The other day I left my ignition in the "on" position and basically killed my battery to the point where my 4R would not start. I jumped it (properly) and drove to work. I didn't realize my alarm had a problem until the next day when I went to arm my alarm and it did everything it always has done - it is just quiet now. Both arming and disarming is quiet now The volume cannot be adjusted via programming; nothing about adjusting the volume exists in the original manual. So I am wondering if something wigged out when I jumped the vehicle.

Any ideas?

 

i even have an older school clifford 600.

never had the point where the batt was completely down. never had issues like that though.

you can unplug the power for it and see if that resets.

 

check grounding of both siren and brain

 

Alarms contain 'non-volatile' memory. I read that Clifford had that battery jump problem.

Alarm memory corruption. You gotta reset the alarm brain.

 

Thanks guys, I am going to try that. This is driving me nuts!

I bet a thief would just laugh at how loud this thing is right now.

 

Unplugging the wire harness to the Clifford "brain" did not work. I am now leaning towards siren replacement.

 

Old school Clifford's were notorious for being ruined by jump starting. You should have pulled the fuse on it before jump starting. I've seen many of these become paperweights. Sounds like another one bites the dust.

 

*Update* Replaced the defective siren with a DEI 514N Softchirp siren. It didn't work at first, so I switched the wires around and it worked like a charm.
