Bad problem - No Auto Elec wants to fix! HELP?

[int21h]

Ok heres there story.

I tried to install my pioneer cd deck into my R32 GTS-t.

Me and a friend have done many stereo installations before.

When we first installed it, we blew a fuse that controlled the dashlights/tail lights.

Thats ok, we found the culprit wire(s) and sorted that out. No more fuses blew.

From then when I turned my car off, the doors would lock and when I clicked the button on the immobiliser, it would unlock and re-lock again.

So we ripped the whole deck out and detached everything from the wires. So now there is no wires connected to anything. When i turn my car off, it unlocks the doors. So i will hop out, lock the doors and go. Now when i return to my car, the immobiliser is armed, i click the button and it will unlock the doors and then lock straight away. The only way to get in, is to use the key.

When the immobiliser is not armhated, the doors will lock fine.

I have spent many many late nights and very many hours trying to solve this problem. We went through and pulled apart all the relays and tested them. We also swapped over the immobiliser with a friend (same type) and the problem was still there.

So our guess is, there is some wire(s) that were connected to the back of the stereo that either need to get power or need to be ground.

Another point is when you click the immobiliser button, it doesn't flash the parkers/tail lights like it use too.

Can anyone provide any help on this?

I have gone through most of the wiring and i know what most of the stereo wires do. However there are still wires there that we don't know the exact purpose for.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try puttin power to those wires... u will soon find out

[meggala]

call the guy who installed the immobaliser

[int21h]

Yes, thats an option.

But those guys are ****ING DODGY!! and i mean very dodgy.

When we were going through my car, we found wires spliced and left like that. Things butchered here and there.

Guy i work with decided to get them to do his tint.

They ripped the back shelf out, and wrecked all the terminals. Also broke the shelf. At first they claimed they never touched the shelf, then they said, they just pulled it forward a little.

They're not someone i would like to trust or do business with.

u tried taking the stereo out (new one u put in). maybe its the new stereo playin up a bit

[hungry6]

soumd like my BA falcon company car habits. They traced it down to the imobilser getting it brains fried a little bit when the door connection shorted.

[int21h]

chaos, yes... there is no stereo in there atm. Just wires.

I'm thinking of connecting the old one back up, and see if it still does that.

hungry6, i swapped the whole immobiliser over with a mates. Same type. Made no difference

Go through all the fuse's with a test light and ensure that they are all ok, next check that all earth wires to the alarm module are grounded

(HINT: some alarm installers use the radio as a ground)

some alarms use a seperate module for the door locks check this aswell.

When i fitted my alarm I used the wires going to the hazard switch did you plug it back in? as mine would not flash if the switch was not pluged in.

Thats all I can think of for now check all of the above and let us know how u went.

if u have more info that would help me tell u what to look 4!

Thanks for the offer rob, but i'm in WA

DAMQIK, Done just about all the checks you can think of.

I though i posted everything in the first post, please let me know what i missed out.

It doesn't have an alarm. Factory central locking and a Cyclops paralyser immobiliser.

I have a mate who was an auto elec for a few years, i'm trying to get him to have a look, but hes just been busy.

Soon as i sort the prob out, everyone will know!!

Thankyou everyone for your imput.

Ok so you checked the fuses under the dash? under the black cover under the bonnet & next to the battery? (there are 3 Fuse boxes in a r33)

PM me your email address and I will send the wireing diag 4 jpg pictures.

Thou I feel your prob is bad earth maybe run a new wire from earth to the module and the same for power+ if you have not yet tryed this.

is your cig lighter getting power?

many things in the skyline need to be "closed circuit" i've found.. one little switch you've disconnected can disable something altogether unexpected..

[DAMQIK GTS-T]

Yeah I know what ya mean,

I unpluged that Beeper under the dash once, all sorts of things stoped working.

[int21h]

Ok, I feel like a dick.

All along i knew the problem was easy, but just kept missing it. Mainly because each time we were working on it, it was between the hours of 10pm-3am.

There is a relay down in the kick panel with a "door lock timer" module, somebody has taken a wire off that relay and put it back on the wrong terminal, plus the immobiliser had a blown fuse.
