wintersun Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Alarm siren never goes off as such but the alarm does if you know what I mean lol I can trigger the alarm by locking the car and then opening the doors to set it off (as it were). The flashers all go and the red led flashes fast to show that the alarm has been tripped. But the actual siren makes no noise. I've had the siren out and all the wires are ok, internal gubbins looks fine too. Is there a fuse somewhere that might have blown that powers the siren that I can check?? Thanks all Ps its a gen 6 tvss alarm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujifilm Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) Mine has a round barrel key thing on top of the alarm black box thingy under bonnet so I can turn the siren off. If yours is same maybe its been turned off. Just guessing. Edited October 20, 2014 by Fujifilm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintersun Posted October 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) I have the original TVSS IIIB alarm fitted, the siren is under the battery tray next to the coolent expansion bottle. There's no key thing on it. Edited October 20, 2014 by wintersun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherv Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Possible that theres some sort of fuse under the dash where it was wired in originally,though it could just be the sirens packed up.Need to be able to get a feed direct to it to be sure really.When I had my alarm fitted last year the new siren that came with it was actually faulty,so had it replaced and was fine.Does happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did open up the siren box and there was a bit of corrosion on the PCB near where the wires are that feed the speaker siren. Also the backup batteries looked like they have seen better days too. Is it possible to wire the alarm to the horn? or just fix another universal siren to the exisiting wires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherv Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I would have thought you could get a siren of the correct rating and do a swap,as to wiring the horn Im no sparky but someone with knowledge could easily do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wintersun Posted October 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 everyting else worksbut the siren, all indicators flash when doors are opened while alarm is active. Plus the led on the centre console tells me the alarm has been set off by flashing really fast. Can only guess that the siren is knacked. No idea is Toyota still sell them? £46 according to some old posts on some other site... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
