Car alarms and starters

[Proteus]

Does anyone have experience with them

I have a compustart. Combo and the thing has started going nuts the Alarm goes off at its own will. How do I reset it

If this is new and really for no reason then I would guess bad connection. Many installers use POS plastic splice click connectors that often cause problems after a while. Hard to say what wire but I'd take a guess at a door pin maybe. If the alarm is just overly sensitive and goes off with cars driving by then the shock sensor can typically be adjusted, they are usually tied up against steering column. Not much else I could tell you, these kind of problems can be hard to diagnose with the car in hand never mind over the web. Might be best to take it in somewhere if you're not familiar with the wiring.

I am going to take it in. The alarm is three years old and the are no splicers in wiring. It's been a few days of working then going off at random. If I drive for a minute the alarm is good for a hour. Sometimes a day

That's worse than my truck. Mine is just stuck on mute so I can never tell if it's disarmed...stupid Compustar

I just contacted jb automotive and was told its ****ed and I have to take it in and have a work over done or a removal

Aaagghh

If it developed recently it could be multiple factors.

most common:
bad ground
bad door/hood/trunk pin

It could be dead. but its more likely that it would just stop working. Take it to a shop that specializes in start/alarm. the last thing you should ever do is take it to a mechanic. they are programmed to say its broken and take it out.

I booked it in at visions. They deal with this brand. I wanted to do it today but to much snow for me to take to the hiway

I have one that is older and sometimes if I turn on the automatic function for the alarm it does this. Its supposed to sense when you are close to the vehicle but it does a really bad job of it and just goes off after a while. Just something to check out

If u have to replace buy a astro start. In auto industry for years and by far the best, u will pay more but well worth it. I also found big box stores tend to have an extremely high turnover rate.these things are extremely complicated and if installed wrong can have devastating effects on your vehicle. Just my 2 cents good luck!
