Alarm Gone Nuts?

Hey lads and lassies.

Just a quickie: I'm wanting to know ppl's opinions for what i should do. I think my alarm has gone insane, but i can't be totally sure that it's not a wiring related issue instead. Basically, the alarm (according to manual is a Brant Ultima series - either AA02E, AA04V10 or aa06V10) is doing some funny things. The first thing that i noticed is that of late, most of the time when i start the car, the black box starts making a clicking sound (sounds like a relay clicking), which will keep clicking continuously (about 5 times a sec?) for 5-40 seconds (yeah, doesn't sound great to start with). That's pretty weird, but a couple of times it's done something rather unsafe, which is when i'm driving, it will engage the alarm, cut my power and immobilise the engine! Yep, scared the pants off me the first time! I actually thought i had been driving whilst on the turbo timer the first time, but after it happened again twice, I realised it was the stupid alarm's fault!

Aside from this, the external siren had stopped making noise numerous months ago as well, but i tended not to think much of it, as everything else was ok.

Now, my question is this: Firstly, would anyone happen to know what might be causing this? My initial thought was the alarm has just gone bung, but then i thought maybe there's just some funny wiring issues that is triggering the alarm (but i don't know how it could trigger when the car is running though...).

My thoughts for resolution are one of the following: Take car to auto-sparky to diagnose, then replace what's needed, or just go buy a new alarm, then get auto-sparky to rip out the old gear and hook the new one up, presuming that this is the cause.

So do i go to auto-sparky first? Or get alarm and just replace it? (or option c, if anyone has any suggestions for something else I could check??).

Oh yeah, '93 R33 gtst. all pretty stock...

Any help or suggestions would be mightily appreciated.... i'd love to be able to drive around and not have to wonder if my alarm is about to make me into a specticle!

cheers!

If your immobiliser is engaging whilst your car is running it might be the ignition sense wire.. I would suggest going to a car audio place and getting an installer to look at it. Has it just recently been installed or..?

I had a similar problem with my old prelude. Laserline alarm, and you would be driving along and the engine would cut out and I would lose all electrics, indicators and all. Turned out to be a burnt out part on the main alarm board triggering the imobiliser.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
