Default Clifford 300 siren wires cut

I decided to relocate my alarm siren as it was a bit in the way. Anyway I thought I would just cut the alarm wires and re-connect it back up in the new position. However once i re-connected it nothing now works! There is no ignition and the fob doesn't work, nor does the valet switch. Does it need to be re-programmed by clifford? Is there anyway to get it started? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Thats what i thought i may have to take it to clifford. Surely though its the same as if the battery is disconnected? Does that mean each time you change the car battery you have to re-program the alarm? Or is that what the valet switch is for?

did you cut the wires one-by-one or did you just chop the whole lot in one go?

You've prob either blown the fuse to the alarm, you'll have to locate the fuse by fiinding the box and tracing the wires back, or you've blown the alarm

Correct !!

Cutting all the wires in one go can:

Blow the siren output of the alarm.
Blow the siren controller built into the siren,
Blow the siren fuse,
Blow the alarm fuse.

Or a combination of all the above.
