The siren on my alarm fell off it's post a while back and it got caught in the alternator belt... the siren was completely damaged and unfixable. I don't really care about the siren that much and want to just replace it with a piezo. I bought the piezo and hooked it up to the wires that the siren was originally on. The piezo chirps but it is barely audible... so of course I thought it might be a defective piezo. I hooked it up to the battery straight (pos+neg) and it worked loud as hell... so it's not defective. Why wouldn't the piezo work with the preran wires that the old siren worked on? I mean... it works but it is like a cricket chirp as far as loudness goes. Does a piezo draw more power than a regular siren?
How do I go about fixing this problem?
