[QUOTE="Adam W, post: 523728, member: 4435"] When you replaced the alarm did you replace the base as well or try to clip the connector straight onto the new alarm? Aico alarms need to be clipped firmly onto an Aico base to work properly - there should be a positive 'click' sound when they are on and you won't be able to remove it without inserting a screwdriver, although they can appear to work if some of the pins are shorted out. I suspect you have connected the wiring loom from the old alarm and not connected directly to the mains supply - the interlink wire will be parked in the base where the other wires connect to the fixed wiring. Are you able to upload a picture? [/QUOTE]
