Circuit Question, Fuses. (on Immobiliser Press, Indicators Flash Problem)


Recommended Posts

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

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
