Have you checked that the settings in the DIC are still what you set or did they clear? Battery age? Battery connections?

How do you know its not operating? Just asking because it does take a while to set, security blinks but you can pop trunk and open door and alarm wont go off.

Did you leave the window open, lock the car with the remote, wait a minute or two then reach in and open the door? It should sound then.

You need to run through options on the DIC to see that it is on.
