Lights not working in conjuction w/ alarm......

My Prestige alarm would blink the lights when you arm or disarm it. The tailights, running light, and interior lights would all blink when you activated or deactivated the alarm. Now, the lights don't work. The horn still cherps when you do it, though. The alarm seems fine and works perfect. What could it be?

The alarm should tap into the brown wire, which is 12V for the parking lights. It runs behind the drivers kickpanel. Maybe the connection became loose? If it is still connected, check all the alarm's fuses. If everything still looks good, you may have blew the alarm's output.

Did you have this alarm installed professionally? It would take a shop about 5-10 mins of diagnosis to figure out the problem, and it should be warrantied.
