My alarm is driving me insane!
1st post - sorry for the novella
Here's the story - my key fob (only one) got wet & is toast.
I've been locking & unlocking my 95 Landcruiser for the past
year & a half.
For whatever reason, my alarm tripped while in my driveway.
Without a key fob, I cut the wire to the horn & that shut it down.
Then my guess is, the vehicle is not sure what is happening at this
point (is someone stealing me?) so it shuts down the ignition when
I try to start it. This happens 50% of the time - the other 50%, no
problem at all.
A friend suggested I remove the fuse to the alarm. This was the day
all this happened when I tried to start my car & although the alarm horn wasn't sounding, the lights were flashing, a clicking noise was going off & my Cruiser sounded as if the starter was all screwed up & it
wouldn't turn over.
Long story short, I've put the fuse back in, now that I realized if I open the door when trying to start the cruiser (if it won't turn over) it will.
Then I only have to deal with maddening clicking noise that seems to stop once it reaches speeds over 40MPH - & then returns once it goes below 40.
Oh, and the doors will lock & unlock periodically as well.
What the heck is going on?!
I'm guessing that my only solution may be to buy a new keyFOB ($100) & have the dealer reprogram ($100) and then this thing just
might reset itself - if not, what then?
Thanks,
Aaron
