Hello,
Hoping someone can help, I have a viper alarm but it was installed before I bought the car. Recently i was having trouble with my starter and solenoid. During some troubleshooting I used a screwdriver to cross the positive and negative to test the starter. Unfortunately after I did that, the alarm siren stopped working.
If I disable the alarm, the light blinks and I heard it clicking in the dash during disable or enable, yet the siren doesnt make a sound. If I try to set off the panic alarm, no sound either. Is there a fuse in the system somewhere? Do you think I blew the siren?

i would have to say that i doubt that you blew the siren. i could be wrong i just doubt it personally.
there should not be a fuse in the siren wire, it doesnt come with one and i dont know anyone that has ever added it in.
there should be a brown wire from the brain running to the red wire on the siren. then a black wire from the siren should go to ground. make sure that you have those still connected. if you have a test light or multimeter check to see if the red wire is getting positive 12v when the siren should be sounding so that you know.
good luck
