"Silent" alarm, part 2

Well, I dug into the Bentley today, and ran the diagnostics
on the central locking, alarm, etc. module (V94).
All the external diagnostics run fine. The horn sounds when I
jumper the appropriate pins, so that's OK. There's correct
voltage on all applicable pins. However, now the alarm no longer
goes off audibly at all when I break in. I probably made it
worse because I goofed and forgot to reconnect the battery before
unplugging V94, which Bentley says you're supposed to do.
The alarm still disables the car OK, and all windows, lights,
etc. still work as desired.
So the finger seems to be a friend circuit board in V94.
Big giant suck. Since this is an all-in-one kind of thing
(central locking, interior lights, alarm, windows, and door
locks including the vaccuum pump) I bet it's $$$$$.

Only my cat shares my opinions, and she makes more noise than the car now.
