I am in serious trouble need urgent help =( alarm stuffed my car


Recommended Posts

Ok peeps, I know that there are already alot of threads on alarms and stuff but this is kinda more serious. Seems like I got the Nemesis car alarm and it has seemed to 'STUFFED' my electronic auto transmission' on the same night that it was installed. I have retured to the ppl that have sold the alarm to me and they have denied everything that the alarm has stuffed my car. I then went to look for help

1. Auto transmissions places- They all say that my transmission is fine and the computer is fine also (So the alarm is stuffing my car while I'm driving)

2. Went to Nissan, and they weren't able to find the problem

3. Asked a alarm person (DJ Lethel mentioned him) and he does't know how to look @ the alarm :P

4. I also asked Consumer Affairs for help and they told me to get a second opinion from a alarm specialist and then comfronting Brant Car Alarm again.

So I really need your help guys, if u show me a good place or person that knows alot about alarms or know what I caan do I will be really greatful.

yes they have disconnect the alarm, but it's still giving me the problem..A auto transmission specialist told me that the alarm could be interfering with the computer in the car (maybe they put it too close?) anyway I hope u guys can help me. I dunno what to do now...

Alarm module should be in the engine bay... way out of the way of the ECU - I doubt it should be interefering with your ECU which is in the passenger footwell, however they may have stuffed other incinary wiring during the install (sounds like)

Thats as long as they have done a decent install.. it sounds like they have stuffed something up. Any reasonable place should offer to fix the problem themselves. Threaten legal action if they don't offer to fix it - any professional install should come with a lifetime guarantee as well.

well his problem is not exactly the same as my problem but if his gonna get the alarm..I wouldn't recommend the installer for the Brant alarm 'Sam'.

Anyway, I'm gonna give em a call tomorrow and c if they wil remove the alarm for me.

What exactly is the auto trans doing? Not shifting? Shifting wrong? It might be just a coincidence that it happened at the same time as the alarm going in, or maybe the installer accidentally knocked something (like a plug or sensor)? Don't forget that, to run the wiring for the alarm, they usually run them right next to the factory wiring loom, so potential for installation issues is right up there...

car shifts really hard into gear 2 then goes up to 6000 rpms to change into gear 3 and I'm not even pushing hard on the accerlerator.

the installer came when I complained about the problem to them and they removed the cable to the alarm, but the car was still doing it.

I'm gonna give a diagnostic test on the car tomorrow morning.

hey leon,

i had a thread bout some issues i been having with my auto, you replied there also 'auto issue' now that ive read this thread something has got me concerned, maybe its just a coincidence but i also have a brant alarm.

just wondering if you ever got this sorted out at all, and if so what was the prob ?

cheers mate

shannon

yeah I got it all sorted out...those damn idiots dont even know how to hook the thing up properly and 1 of the wires was f***ing my transmission.....I wasted sooo much time with that issue and got nothing out of it... I will never recommend anyone to using Brant. Also their installer is a idiot. Forgot his name though, but he was around the west area as well

Fat guy called Sam? He has fuct my doors as well. Basically, if i try to open the door while locked, it won't open when I unarm it. Also, I can't lock the drivers door as well. That guy is a twat. My auto keeps slipping out of overdrive now too, although i think it was doing that before too.

f*** man, yeah! Thats him..his really bad and a wanker as well...when did u put your alarm in? I dunno how they got such a idiot to do the installs for Brant.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
