Car alarms and starters

[Proteus]

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!
