whats wrong with my alarm!?

Hey all, im hoping someone might be able to give me some insight here...
I just picked my Evo up yesterday from the impound lot (yeah i was bad) and aside from now needing a new front fascia due to the dumba$$ hicks ripping mine apart, my Compustar alarm (the one with the autostart and all that jazz, one of the top of the line models from them just dont remember the model number off the top of my head) doesnt work at all now. I never had 1 single problem with my alarm before hand, and now it doesnt do anything. The turbo-timer doesnt work, door locks dont work, nothing...I dont know anything about this stuff so I dont know where to begin looking. I mentioned it to the 2 different companies that had the car and of course they didnt touch it ( )...anyone have any ideas at all?

you just picked the evo from the impound lot, alarm works fine before it went to impound lot, correct? if that's the case they must have touched something. did you check if any wire has been disconnected?

Check the wires and any inline fuses that may be present.
