I own a 95 Civic 4dr, that had an aftermarket Audiovox alarm, dunno which model, installed by a shop long time ago and after I got into an accident 2 months ago, when i hit the k/e, the alarm still chirps, my door still unlocks, but the parking light doesn't flash anymore. What could cause this? I have no idea where anything for the alarm is installed.

It sounds like an internal relay...probley not much hope for it...you may want to see if you can tack it apart an replace the relay...but that is just a suguestion...

first i would check the inline fuse for the light flash output from the alarm.

look under the driverside dash for the alarm. most alarms use a white wire for the parking lights. you will know it when you see it. check that first, it might just be blown

Good Luck
