Sirens do go out. Especially if they are mounted facing upwards. They tend to fill up with water. Do you have a volt meter or a test light?

X2 with Mr.I. Sirens can fail, especially if they are mounted in a location where they can get water exposure. I would pay close attention to the ground connection on the siren--make sure it is a good metal to metal connection; I have seen a few Prestige sirens fail from corroded/bad ground connection. I would also configure the system for horn/siren as a backup until you have it figured out.
