could be the siren itself, the siren ground, or the siren output on from the alarm brain. Any one of these items would cause the siren to not work. If you are not familiar with the above take your car back to to where it was installed and have them check it out for you.

most siren outputs have a fuse in line. check it first. should be close to the brain.\\

if you cant find the fuse, use a meter to check the red wire at the siren. if it shows 12v and it doesnt sound, then replace it.

start there and let us know what you find out.
