Default Can replacing alarm siren cause problems with AC?

Greetings all.
I recently had a problem where my car cut out in traffic and drained my battery. The dealership I took it to determined it was the alarm siren and replaced it. Everything seemed ok afterwards.

However as the weather, still cool in early spring, necessitated the use my seat warmer, I found that it didn't heat. Then as the weather began to warm I tried my AC and it only blew hot air. My question is this; Is this a coincidence or could the dealer's work replacing that siren cause my AC unit and seat heaters to go bad? Something electrical or computerized?

I know this might sound silly, but it just seems weird.

Thanks very much for your help.

I haven't heard of any sirens causing climate issues. But on the c30s it is very common for the compressors and condensers to go bad

Thank you very much Damien360. I appreciate the quick reply.
Disappointing to hear that the model has such an expensive propensity.

I wasn't thinking that the siren caused the AC problem itself, rather that the repair procedure might have caused the problem. I guess it's just that time where things start happening.

Thanks again for your help!
Best,
