disconnected a PIR to move it to another room. Reconnected according to photo I tool of original wiring.
Turned power on to Alarm and waited - all zone lights on.
After a minute all zone lights go off except for 3 zones.
Preset reset and all lights off.
Try setting alarm but the same 3 zones light up. Sound from panel very low

What have I done wrong (if anything) and how do I correct?

Help most graciously accepted as I can't figure this one out

Most probably you accidently shorted out the 12 volt supply to the sensor when you disconnected the wires from the sensor.

That will have blown the fuse that supplies all the sensors.

It is almost certainly mounted on the PCB inside the control panel

Exactly where and what type depends on the make and model of the alarm system.

If you open the panel be careful, there maybe mains power in there and there will still be 12 volts from the battery. 12 volts won't kill you but you could still short something else out and do more damage.

Thanks for the info, I'll check the fuse when I get home.

Hopefully it will be easy to purchase another if required.
