Alarm and Turbo Timer Advice/Help


Recommended Posts

Posted

Right, was sitting outside the big nightclub in Greenock last night about 01:30 when my alarm started going off. Tried pressing the usual button on the remote to switch it off, but nothing was happening. Popped the bonnet to have a look and try to stop the alarm before the nightclub emptied at 2! Pulled the wires out of the back of the noisy bit/speaker (technical term) but to no avail. Eventually disconnected the battery and it stopped the alram sounding. Was now stranded with an immobilised car that couldnt start and was towed home early this morning.

This morning i tried my spare alarm remote, which to my surprise operated the central locking, which it wasnt doing last night. Tightened up the battery connections, got ignition and started no bother.

The trouble is, my turbo timer is now not quite right. The timer will work, as the engine still runs after the key is taken out, but it wont count down on the display and the buttons on the timer do not work. Also, after putting the wires back into the speaker for the alarm, there is no noise, where previously it would beep twice when alarmed.

Does anybody know if the turbo timer has to be reset or anything like that, and does anyone know anything about alarms, or a place that specialises in Meta alarms?

The turbo timer is HKS and the alram is Meta.

Cheers

graeme,

when i had the car the turbo timer worked fine - think there is a dim switch on it  and i think it goes to about 4 or 5 mins setting !!- it was fitted when i got the car so no instructions for it. as for the alarm i wouldnt know what was up with it.

have fun
