Blown Fuse ... Or Something Worse?

Hey guys, has anybody experienced this before?

This morning when I was about to start my Vee, the car lost all power to its systems and the alarm triggered.

There were no lights on the dash, the alarm was not responsive to my remote, the flashing immobliser light on the dash was not flashing (both stock and aftermarket), boot release not working, windows auto adjustment not working, etc etc. The alarm rang for a good 10 minutes before it died out.

Any thoughts or suggestions on what I should do? A fuse I can check perhaps, or need to have the car towed to an auto electrician / immobliser fitter?

Thanks.

Sounds like a flat bettery to me: the alarm should have a backup if it's decent, which would explain why nothing but the alarm worked...

I had a similar incident: got back to my car to find the brakelights strobing like crazy: tried to start it, and nothing, except I could hear a relay going crazy (clicking)... Turned out I'd switched the foglights on by accident when I indicated to park, and they stayed on. A quick jump start and a short drive, and it was all sorted.

Maybe have your alternator checked?

thanks for your posts guys. i too am hoping it's a weak battery esp considering that it was cold this morning in Perth.

but the car started without fuss yesterday. when i inserted the key this morning everything lit up as it normally does before the power cut happened and the alarm sounded. yes it's probably the depleated battery for the alarm that stopped the siren after about 10 mins.

lol @ headlights not turning off when battery is weak!

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
