Mongoose M80 Problem - Only One Side Of The Indicators Work And Only 1 Door Unlocks


Recommended Posts

Hi Every1,

I have a R34 with a Mongoose M80 alarm installed in it.

When unlocking it, the central locking doesnt work properly (passenger side door does not unlock) and only half of the indicators work.

I've been doing some research. Could this be caused by a blown fuse in the alarm itself? If so, where is the fuse? Is it actually in the mongoose unit?

And could both problems (indicators and door not unlocking) both be caused by the fuse? Or when the fuse is normally blown, does it only impact the indicators? (If this is the case, im assuming I also have a stuffed actuator).

Will be giving this a go tomorrow, but always appreciate advice from the pro's.

Thanx heaps in advance for the direction.

sounds like someone did not know what they were doing myself. it is a fuse and if you can find the unit to will be very apparent.

Thanks Chris, found a busted fuse for the alarm and replaced. Has fixed the indicators but the passenger side door still does not automatically unlock.

Will buy a new lock actuator and fit. Unless there is a fuse in one of the stock fuseboxes for it (From memory there isnt?)

If u know off the top of your head?

Hey mate, fixed this today - issue was caused by a fuse missing in the interior fuse box! The 10A bat fuse.

Have attached a pic incase it helps any1 else 1 day.

Regarding my previous post, was going to replace the actuator as I thought it had ceased. Great that this was not the case.

Thanks heaps anyway though!

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
