I have an aftermarket immobiliser on my car. When you press the button the doors lock & the engine is immobilised. To let you know this has happened all indicators flash once for locking, twice when unlocking.

Now when I press the button, only the drivers side indicators flash when locking / unlocking. So only 3 out of 6 flash. (driver side, front / side /rear)

All indicators used to flash perfect, but since some recent electrical mod / changes, all indicators are not flashing when the immobiliser button is pressed. (but yes all left / right side indicator do work when using the indicator stalk)

Below is a history of recent events to help troubleshoot at which point my problem starts occurring.

1. front passenger side indicator stops working, fuse is still fine, & all indicators (except for passenger side front) flash when pressing immobiliser button.

2. Go to an auto electrician to get a no load flash unit installed (to fix up my indicator speed due to 5 watt globes at front). Installed & indicator speed back to normal.

3. At same time get auto electrician to look at the front passenger side indicator which is still not working. Accidentally (from a jiggle of a wire I guess) the front passenger side indicator is now working again.

4. On the drive home, turning left, the indicator fuse blows & I loose all indicators. I guess it was front a driving vibration / jiggle again. (make it home safely)

*from here below I think at some point the new problem has occurred 'immobiliser press, driver side indicators only flash*

5. Buy fuse, replace the blown. Test indicators, instantly blows the new fuse.

6. Disconnect the front passenger side indicator, install new fuse. All indicators work except the disconnected front passenger side.

7. Today, check positive & negative lines to front passenger side indicator, rewire & cover with electrical tape. Install new fuse. All indicators flashing fine. But, when on immobiliser press, still only the driver side is flashing.

Also, I had to replace the hazard fuse, this was blow when the indicator fuse was blow. Is it possible another fuse has been blow?

Thanks for the long read & help :pirate:

Cheers, :(

all new alarms have fuses for the indicator outputs, its to stop people shorting out the indicators like they do in gone in 60 seconds. so track down where your alarm is and it should have 2 fuses outside the unit.

i hope that makes sence

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.

      Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻

      That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
