If it chirps when you connect it to the battery and doesn't when you have it connected to the siren output on the alarm, then i'm willing to bet that its the output of the alarm that is the problem. when you get a good DMM check the siren output of the alarm to verify that you indeed are getting 12V+ on that wire.

...half of the truth can be worse than a lie. <----Roger Russell said that..

As stated in the first post The alarm go off(sounds) just fine and I can hear chirps for door open during arming and intrusion, just not during arming and unarming. I also get no chirps or light flash after :key on - key off - toggle valet 3X

Solved (I think)

It appears that the output from the alarm chirps were below the cut in threshold of the siren.

My workaround----Wired the output through a 12v relay to the siren.

Now, I don't know if this is due to the alarm being worn out, or if it's that the new siren is just too demanding for such an old system. IE: old standards versus new standards.

Thanks to those that offered help cannot activate chirps - Page 2 - Last Post -- posted image.
